Kareela is derived from an Aboriginal word kari-kari meaning fast. The name for the suburb was approved by the Geographical Names Board in 1968 and it was chosen in reference to the area’s strong south winds. The strong breezes are also reflected in the street name, Tradewinds Place.
Kareela has a small shopping centre located between Bates Drive and Freya Street. Shops include a Coles supermarket, a newsagent, bakery, butcher, Black Olive deli, Chicken Ace and Video Ezy. The doctor's surgery located opposite the shopping centre in Freya Street is called Kareela Family Practice.
