Toohey is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Queensland. It was created in the 2017 redistribution. It was named after Toohey Forest Park.[1]
It largely covers the area of the abolished district of Sunnybank. Located in southern Brisbane, Toohey consists of the suburbs of Moorooka, Rocklea, Salisbury, Nathan, Coopers Plains, Robertson, MacGregor, Sunnybank, Runcorn and Eight Mile Plains.[1]
From results of the 2015 election, Toohey was estimated to be a fairly safe seat for the Labor Party with a margin of 8.3%.[2]
