Toongabbie is a neighborhood of Sydney in the Australian state of New South Wales. Toongabbie, one of Sydney’s older suburbs, is a part of the Greater Western Sydney region and is situated 30 kilometres west of the city’s CBD. The local governments of the City of Parramatta, the City of Blacktown, and Cumberland Council share Toongabbie. Locals frequently refer to the neighbourhood as “Toonie” and “Toonga Bay.”

Toongabbie is derived from an Aboriginal word that, according to reports, means a location near water or the confluence of waters. After asking the local Aboriginal population what they called the area, Governor Arthur Phillip gave it a name in June 1792.

The shopping district of Toongabbie is situated in Aurelia Street, which is next to the station and to the south of the railroad. For many years, the retail centre had a small, independent suburban theatre called the “Rocket Theatre” that was situated next to the overhead bridge and over the railroad tracks. From the late 1950s to the early 1970s, it was in operation until being dismantled and replaced by a row of stores. In the region surrounded by the Toongabbie Hotel and the Catholic Church, a small shopping centre and supermarket known as the Piccadilly Centre was constructed in the 1960s. This ran until 2004, when a developer bought the Piccadilly shopping centre and the other properties with the intention of constructing Portico Plaza, a shopping centre with a Woolworths supermarket and more than 40 speciality stores.

On the Sydney Trains network’s North Shore, Northern & Western Line is the Toongabbie train station. On April 26, 1880, the unmanned station’s doors were first opened. Over time, more platforms and loading docks were added. The station’s first station manager, a Miss Amy Arnold, was chosen in the late 1880s. The current station opened in 1946, and the electrification of the route occurred in 1955. In 1947, the overhead highway bridge was inaugurated (before that there was a level crossing where the western end of the station platforms are now).

The following station on the route is Seven Hills to the west, and Pendle Hill to the east.
Private buses connect Toongabbie with Blacktown via Blacktown Road, Seven Hills via Prospect Highway, Sydney, and Westmead and Parramatta via the Great Western Highway.

Additionally, the T-Way bus service provides service to Toongabbie.
