Due to the fact that the previous map of boundaries is nonexistent, and that two states are currently undergoing redistributions, changing their electorate boundaries, the AEC has decided to begin a redistribution of federal boundaries.
The number of MPs - currently 15 - under our preliminary boundaries, will not change. Under our determination of entitlement using enrolled voters, here is the current amount of MPs each state and territory is entitled to:
State/territory | Enrolled voters | Electorates |
---|---|---|
New South Wales | 5,350,797 | 4 electorates |
Victoria | 4,278,563 | 3 electorates |
Queensland | 3,404,922 | 3 electorates |
Western Australia | 1,725,518 | 1 electorate |
South Australia | 1,233,353 | 1 electorate |
Tasmania | 394,515 | 1 electorate |
Australian Capital Territory | 305,692 | 1 electorate |
Northern Territory | 143,312 | 1 electorate |
As a result, below are the proposed electoral boundaries for each state. Each electorate is required to remain within a percentage variation of plus or minus 10% from the average of each electorate's voters.
New South Wales
Electorate | Enrolled voters | Percentage variation |
---|---|---|
Cowper | 1,292,169 | -3.63% |
Cunningham | 1,373,959 | 2.43% |
Robertson | 1,390,778 | 3.68% |
Sydney | 1,307,525 | -2.49% |

Moncrieff | 1,189,298 | 4.53% |
There is no map available of the proposed electorates, due to the fact that the AEC could not find mapping data suitable for Google My Maps. We have provided this results map from the real-life AEC, as the Brisbane electorate consists entirely of the page 3 "Brisbane Urban" electorates, the Moncrieff electorate consists of the "Brisbane Surrounds" electorates on Page 2, with the exception of the Groom, Wide Bay and Hinkler electorates, which, along with the Page 1 rural electorates, are in Capricornia. This post will be updated when such a map is available.
These electorates were created by combining enrolment data from real-life electorates. The real-life electorates each electorate consists of is listed below:
Brisbane: Bonner, Bowman, Brisbane, Griffith, Lilley, Moreton, Oxley, Petrie, Rankin, Ryan
Capricornia: Capricornia, Dawson, Flynn, Groom, Herbert, Hinkler, Kennedy, Leichhardt, Maranoa, Wide Bay
Moncrieff: Blair, Dickson, Fadden, Fairfax, Fisher, Forde, Longman, McPherson, Moncrieff. Wright

Submissions, in the comments below, will be open for a week. Anyone is entitled to provide their opinion to the AEC on how many divisions they think there should be, if the proposed boundaries should be altered, if there should be any name changes, etc. If you have any questions, you can contact me or ask below and I will do my best to answer. The final boundaries, taking submissions into account, will be published after submissions close.
