Shire of Toombul
The Shire of Toombul was a local government area of Queensland, Australia, located in northern Brisbane from 1883 to 1925.
The Nundah Division was one of the original divisions created on 11 November 1879 under the The Divisional Boards Act of 1879.
The division was a large one, ranging from the Pine River in the north to the Brisbane River in the south and from Moreton Bay in the east to Chinaman's Creek (now South Pine River) in the west. The residents in the southern part of the division (the Toombul area) felt their needs were quite distinct from those further north and immediately began to agitate for the division to be split. On 1 November 1883, the Toombul Division was separated from the Nundah Division (which was later renamed the Kedron Division).
On 2 October 1890 the Hamilton Division was separated from the Toombul Division due to the agitation of Toombul board member Andrew Lang Petrie, who became the first chairman of the Hamilton board.
On 31 March 1903, the Local Authorities Act 1902 replaced Divisions with Shires and Towns, replacing Toombul Division with the Shire of Toombul.
The Shire of Toombul War Memorial was dedicated by the Governor of Queensland, Matthew Nathan, on 12 November 1921. The memorial commemorates who served in World War I. It is located in Nundah Memorial Park (then known as Buckland Park) (27°24′10″S 153°03′31″E / 27.402890°S 153.058696°E).
