The electoral district of Toombul was a Legislative Assembly electorate in the state of Queensland, Australia.

History

Toombul was created by the redistribution of 1887, taking effect at the 1888 colonial election, and existed until the 1932 state election.[1] It was based on the north-east suburbs of Brisbane between Breakfast Creek and Kedron Brook from Newmarket and Alderley to Moreton Bay, formerly part of the electorate of Enoggera.[1]

When Toombul was abolished in 1932, its area was incorporated into the districts of Hamilton and Nundah.[1]
