Wavell Heights is a Brisbane suburb located 9 km north of the Brisbane central business district. It is named after Field Marshal Lord Wavell who was the Commander-In-Chief of the Allied Forces in the Middle East during the Second World War.
In 1941 the Brisbane City Council requested that the area commonly known as West Nundah be recognised as Wavell Heights.
