The suburb includes the locality and formerly distinct suburb of '''Toombul''', which is centred in the south of Nundah, around Sandgate Road. Various facilities in Nundah are named after this locality, including [[Toombul Shopping Centre]], [[Toombul bus interchange]] and [[Toombul railway station]].
