The Redistribution Committee for Queensland today published its report proposing names and boundaries for Queensland’s 30 federal electoral divisions.
The Chair of the Committee and Electoral Commissioner, Tom Rogers said the redistribution was required as more than seven years had elapsed since a federal redistribution was last undertaken in Queensland.
“The recent determination of the number of members of the House of Representatives did not alter Queensland’s entitlement to 30 members meaning the current redistribution process continues with the release of this proposal,” Mr Rogers said.
“Under the proposal the boundaries of 18 of Queensland’s 30 federal electoral divisions would be amended and the current names of all 30 divisions would be retained.”
