A Jetstar Airbus A320-200, registration VH-XNP performing flight JQ-904 from Brisbane,QL to Townsville,QL (Australia), was climbing out of Brisbane when the crew stopped the climb at FL300 due to a chemical odour on board and decided to return to Brisbane for a safe landing about 35 minutes after departure.

Subsequent examination of the aircraft identified hydraulic fluid from recent maintenance activity as cause of the odour.
