The 2009 Proposed Redistribution of Queensland Report of the Redistribution Committee
Executive summary
1. On 17 February 2009, the Electoral Commissioner made a determination on state and territory representation entitlements under section 48(1) of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 (the Electoral Act). Under the determination, Queensland is entitled to 30 members of the House of Representatives, one more than its previous entitlement.
2. In considering options for the redistribution of divisional boundaries, the Redistribution Committee (the Committee) sought to ensure its proposal took into account and reflected a full and proper consideration of all of the factors brought before itas required by the Electoral Act. These factors included actual and projected enrolment figures, and suggestions and comments. The Committee also sought, wherever possible, to unite communities of common interest and use clearly identifiable features as divisional boundaries.
3. The Committee considered projected enrolment across the state, observing the high projected growth in south-east Queensland. Enrolment projections indicate that the divisions which are over the average projected enrolment are located primarily within the outer-metropolitan areas of south-east Queensland and in pockets along the eastern seaboard, whereas inner-metropolitan and country divisions are generally under the average. (Map page 14 refers)
4. The Committee noted that the substantial numerical differences between the highest and lowest projected enrolments for divisions had a significant impact on the development of the proposal, particularly in those high-growth areas on the fringes of Brisbane, Ipswich and the Gold Coast cities.
5. The degree and pattern of growth led the Committee to propose that the new division be located in south-east Queensland, with changes, where considered necessary, to existing divisions in the region to facilitate the creation of the new division.
6. The Committee proposed the new division be named “Wright”. Ms Wright was a social and environmental activist, and world renown poet with links to the area in which the new division has been proposed.
7. As a result of Ryan being moved wholly to the north of the Brisbane River, the redrawing of the divisions south of the Brisbane River allowed for the creation of the Division of Wright in an area south and west of Brisbane.
8. Three divisions are proposed to be left unchanged, those being Bonner, Griffith and Groom.
9. The enrolment projections enabled the eight divisions north of the Brisbane River up to and including the Division of Fairfax to be redrawn largely within this geographical area.
1 10. The Committee noted that a number of boundaries outside south-east Queensland are, by necessity, required to move further into major regional centres.
Direction for a redistribution of Queensland electoral divisions
11. Section 59(2) of the Electoral Act provides that a redistribution shall be directed whenever a determination under section 48(1) of the Electoral Act results in an alteration of the number of members of the House of Representatives to be chosen in a state. Consequently, on 19 February 2009, the Australian Electoral Commission (the Electoral Commission), directed by notice published in the Commonwealth Government Gazette (the Gazette)1, that a redistribution was to commence in Queensland.
12. At the end of 19 February 2009, the number of electors enrolled in Queensland was 2 650 299. Redistribution statistics, which show the detailed electoral enrolment figures as at 19 February 2009, were made available on the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) website. In addition, copies were available at the Queensland State Office of the AEC in Brisbane. The statistics were given at the following levels: • Census Collection District (CCD) • Statistical Local Area (SLA) • Electoral Division • State.
Quota
13. Under section 65 of the Electoral Act, the Electoral Commissioner determined that the quota of electors for Queensland was 88 343 (2 650 299 divided by 30 members). Thus, the permitted range of 10% below and above the quota is from 79 509 to 97 177 respectively as at 19 February 2009. In making its proposals for the state, the Redistribution Committee is not permitted to propose divisions whose elector numbers fall outside that range. (Table 1)

2 Enrolment projections
14. Section 66(3) (a) of the Electoral Act requires the Committee to “…as far as practicable, endeavour to ensure that, if the State or Territory were redistributed in accordance with the proposed redistribution, the number of electors enrolled in each Electoral Division in the State or Territory would not, at the projection time determined under section 63A be less than 96.5% or more than 103.5% of the average divisional enrolment of that State or Territory at that time…”
15. In accordance with section 63A(3) of the Electoral Act, the Electoral Commission was of the opinion that, based on the trend of population change as estimated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), a further redistribution of Queensland may be required sooner than seven years after the starting time for the projection (15 December 2009). Therefore the Electoral Commission has determined that the projection time for Queensland is 9 July 2012, which is half way between the starting time for the projection and the time when in the opinion of the Electoral Commission a further redistribution may be required (February 2015).
16. The ABS supplied enrolment projections to the AEC using AEC enrolment data and a cohort-component method to project the enrolment of each CCD to 9 July 2012. Divisional Returning Officers (DROs) of the AEC examined the ABS projections in the light of their local knowledge and experience, and where appropriate, substituted their own projections2. DROs made use of information supplied by relevant local authority planning and statistical groups, as well as their own resources in undertaking this task. The Australian Electoral Officer for Queensland also reviewed the projections.
17. The projections were made available on the AEC website to persons or organisations interested in using them as an indication of the likely growth of elector enrolment and as an aid to the preparation of public suggestions, or comments on public suggestions.
18. The projected total enrolment for Queensland on 9 July 2012 is 2 916 951, resulting in an average projected divisional enrolment of 97 232. Thus the permissible variance, being within the range of plus or minus 3.5% of the average projected enrolment figure, is between 100 635 and 93 829 electors. (Table 2) The Redistribution Committee must endeavour to ensure that the proposed divisions fall within that range.

3 Appointment of the Redistribution Committee for Queensland
19. In accordance with section 60 of the Electoral Act, the Electoral Commission appointed the Redistribution Committee for Queensland on 21 April 2009. The Committee comprised the following members: Electoral Commissioner Mr Ed Killesteyn Australian Electoral Officer for Queensland Ms Anne Bright Assistant Director – General Land and Vegetation Mr Chris Robson Department of Environment and Resource Management* Auditor General for Queensland Mr Glenn Poole *Note: Mr Robson’s role is equivalent to the office of Surveyor-General for the State.
20. Committee members met on 24 April 2009, 15 May 2009, 28 May 2009, 4 June 2009 and 18 June 2009.
Invitations to submit public suggestions and comments
21. In accordance with section 64 of the Electoral Act, the Electoral Commissioner invited written public suggestions and written comments on those suggestions by notice published in the Gazette on 25 March 2009, and in The Courier-Mail and The Sunday Mail newspapers on 28 and 29 March 2009 respectively. At the prescribed closing time on 24 April 2009, 26 public suggestions had been received from: 1 Bruce Collins 15 Claudia Marckx 2 Mary Killeen 16 Darren Delaney 3 Glynn Evans 17 Shire of Hinchinbrook 4 Alex Somlyay MP 18 Western Queensland Local 5 Roslyn Jamieson Government Association 6 Winton Shire Council 19 Peter Slipper MP 7 Michael Hedger 20 Paul Neville MP 8 Mark Mulcair 21 Jenny Hill 9 Sonja Doyle 22 Qantas Foundation Memorial Ltd 10 Andrew Pegler 23 Barcaldine Regional Council 11 Longreach Regional Council 24 Liberal National Party 12 Diamantina Shire Council 25 Australian Labor Party (Qld) 13 Bob Richardson 26 Warren Truss MP 14 Bob Katter MP
4 22. Copies of these suggestions were made available for perusal at the office of the Australian Electoral Officer for Queensland in Brisbane from 27 April 2009 as required by the Electoral Act. The suggestions were also made available on the AEC website.
23. At the prescribed closing time on 8 May 2009, 47 comments on the suggestions had been received from: 1 Martin Gordon 25 Michael Bond 2 Peter Graham 26 Julie Grace 3 Wujal Wujal Aboriginal Shire Council 27 Samantha Devine 4 Gladys Waters 28 Andrew Daniels 5 Ray and Moya Deane 29 Adam Poulus 6 Mark Mulcair 30 Judith Hathaway 7 Robert Buchan 31 Matthew Bourke 8 Graham Perrett MP 32 Hinchinbrook Chamber of Commerce 9 Mark Bousen 33 Torres Strait Regional Authority 10 Kerry Fry 34 Peter Yorkston 11 William McKeown 35 Mount Isa Race Club 12 Maureen McGeachie 36 Bruce Scott MP 13 Charles Reinalda 37 Mount Isa City Council 14 Shane Bousen 38 Mid West Rugby League 15 Anne Stone 39 Australian Cane Farmers Association 16 Diai Luffman 40 Andrew Laming MP 17 Peter Slipper MP 41 Kate Townsend 18 Russell Barkus 42 Cairns Chamber of Commerce 19 Flora Barwick 43 Paul Neville MP 20 F E Perham 44 Australian Labor Party (Qld) 21 78 Squadron Association 45 Bob Katter MP 22 Maxine Renouf 46 Birkdale Progress Association Inc 23 Alastair W Nicholson 47 Darren Delaney 24 Bob Richardson
24. The comments on suggestions were made available to members of the public for perusal at the office of the Australian Electoral Officer for Queensland in Brisbane and were also published on the AEC website.
25. As required by section 64(4) of the Electoral Act, the Committee considered all the public suggestions and comments on suggestions, which had been lodged within the statutory timeframe.
5 Statutory requirements for the making of a proposed redistribution
26. Section 66(1) of the Electoral Act requires the Redistribution Committee for Queensland to make a proposed redistribution of the state.
27. Sections 66(3) and 66(3A) of the Electoral Act prescribe that:
(3) In making the proposed redistribution, the Redistribution Committee:
(a) shall, as far as practicable, endeavour to ensure that, if the State or Territory were redistributed in accordance with the proposed redistribution, the number of electors enrolled in each Electoral Division in the State or Territory would not, at the projection time determined under section 63A, be less than 96.5% or more than 103.5% of the average divisional enrolment of that State or Territory at that time; and
(b) subject to paragraph (a), shall give due consideration, in relation to each proposed Electoral Division, to:
(i) community of interests within the proposed Electoral Division, including economic, social and regional interests;
(ii) means of communication and travel within the proposed Electoral Division;
(iv) the physical features and area of the proposed Electoral Division; and
(v) the boundaries of existing Divisions in the State or Territory;
and subject thereto the quota of electors for the State or Territory shall be the basis for the proposed redistribution, and the Redistribution Committee may adopt a margin of allowance, to be used whenever necessary, but in no case shall the quota be departed from to a greater extent than one-tenth more or one-tenth less.
(3A) When applying subsection (3), the Redistribution Committee must treat the matter in subparagraph (3)(b)(v) as subordinate to the matters in subparagraphs (3)(b)(i), (ii) and (iv).”
28. These statutory requirements are expressed in an hierarchical order which puts, “as far as practicable”, the “endeavour to ensure” a division will fall within the projected enrolment range first; the considerations of “community of interests within [a division] including economic, social and regional interests”, “means of communication and travel within [a division]”, and “the physical features and area of [a division]” second; and “the boundaries of existing Divisions” third – while stating that, subject to these matters, “the quota of electors for the State … shall be the basis for the redistribution” and that “the Redistribution Committee may adopt a margin of allowance” not departing from the quota further than by one-tenth more or less.
6 29. The purpose of paragraph 3(a) is suggested by its history, over the period of which it has undergone some transformation since the Commonwealth Electoral Legislation Amendment Act 1983 stipulated that boundaries were to be drawn, as far as practicable, to achieve equal numbers of electors in each of a state’s electorates three-and-a-half years after redistribution. By 1984 “it was observed that the three-and-a-half year rule had in some areas forced the adoption, on purely numerical grounds, of boundaries which took little account of perceived community of interest”3. Therefore, in 1987, the rule was relaxed to permit a measure of tolerance to plus or minus two percent from average projected enrolment. Subsequently, the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters concluded that “the numerical criteria do not allow ‘due consideration’, in the words of the Act, to be given to the qualitative factors. Rather, the political parties and others attempting to frame electoral boundaries essentially find themselves engaged in a mathematical modelling exercise. In order to relax the enrolment requirements to that extent necessary to allow a realistic degree of flexibility the Committee recommends … that subsections 66(3)(a) and 73(4)(a) of the Electoral Act be amended, so as to extend the variation from average divisional enrolment allowed three-and-a-half years after a redistribution from two to 3.5 percent.”4 The Joint Standing Committee also, in the same report, refers to its recommended amendment as one that “would maintain substantial restrictions on malapportionment [and] would allow other legitimate policy objectives to be more effectively met”5.
30. It was pursuant to this recommendation that the amendment was made by which paragraph 3(a) came to take its present form. The terms of the recommendation, and the discussion which preceded it, make clear the purpose of paragraph 3(a), as it now stands, and how it was intended to interact with the other criteria set out in the sub-paragraphs of paragraph (b), to which also “due consideration” must be given. The Redistribution Committee has considered the suggestions and comments and made its proposed redistribution on this basis.
31. In summary, the criteria of community of interests, means of communication and travel, physical features and area, and boundaries of existing divisions are secondary to the two requirements of: • endeavouring to ensure that the number of electors in proposed divisions are within a range of 3.5% below or above the average divisional enrolment at the projection time; and • ensuring that current enrolments are within 10% below or above the quota.

7 Technical procedures
32. The AEC maintains the electoral roll on the basis of alignment to CCDs, and is able to provide statistical data on enrolments and projected enrolments at this level. Accordingly, in formulating its proposals, the Committee used CCDs as basic building blocks. The CCDs have defined boundaries and are of differing sizes and shapes. In cases where the Committee considered that a particular CCD boundary was inappropriate for use as an electoral division boundary, the CCD was split to provide a more meaningful boundary.
33. The indicative area of electoral divisions in Queensland has been calculated by aggregating the area of: • all land-based CCDs • any parts of land-based CCDs • any lakes, ponds, rivers, creeks, wetlands or marshes not already included in land-based CCDs, that are contained within the divisional boundary of each electoral division.
34. Areas are calculated on the geocentric datum of Australia (GDA94) spheroid using the AEC Electoral Boundary Mapping System (EBMS), developed within the “MapInfo Professional” software package.
35. As an aid to the modelling of various boundary options, the Committee used EBMS. This system was also made available for public use at the office of the Australian Electoral Officer for Queensland in Brisbane.
Analysis of population trends
36. Queensland has experienced a continuing trend of high population growth, leading to a significant variation in population numbers across a number of regions.
37. ABS population statistics for the quarter ended June 20086 show that Queensland’s population grew by an above-average 2.3% over the previous year, in contrast to national average growth of 1.7%.
38. ABS population statistics foreshadow substantial increases in population in Queensland. Whilst there are pockets of future growth expected along the eastern coast of the state, the greatest overall increase in population is projected to take place in the south-east corner of the state. The Committee was cognisant of this in determining the location of the new division.
39. Country areas and rural regions are experiencing lower rates of population growth compared to south-east Queensland and major regional centres.
6 ABS, Australian Demographic Statistics, June Quarter 2008. Catalogue No.: 3101.0.
8 40. If these regional population trends continue, Queensland’s population is likely to become increasingly concentrated in major regional centres along the eastern seaboard and the south-eastern corner of the state.
41. The relative increase in population has resulted in Queensland gaining an additional seat in the House of Representatives, bringing its total entitlement to 30 seats.
42. This increase in entitlement is consistent with the trend evident over the last 12 years, during which time Queensland’s share of the Commonwealth population has been increasing. This trend is illustrated in the following graph.

Enrolment in existing divisions as at 19 February 2009
43. Enrolment as at the end of 19 February 2009 varies across the state, from a low of 87 784 electors in the Division of Maranoa to a high of 96 470 in the Division of Fadden. (Table 7)
44. As illustrated in Graph 2: • 28 of 29 divisions are currently above the enrolment quota, but no division exceeds the permissible number of electors; and • the remaining division, Maranoa falls slightly below the enrolment quota by 559 electors (0.63%).
9 Analysis of enrolment trends
45. Enrolment growth is expected in all electoral divisions in Queensland, in line with projected population growth. However, the magnitude of enrolment growth varies markedly across the state, from a low of 2.95% in the Division of Lilley to a high of 30.07% in Fadden, with the average increase being 10% over the projection period. (Table 7)
46. The inner Brisbane metropolitan divisions are projected to experience lower than average enrolment growth. These divisions are bordered by the coast to the east and are otherwise surrounded by high growth divisions.
47. The divisions with the highest projected enrolment growth are in south-east Queensland, including Fadden 30.07%, Oxley 22.54%, Forde 18.01%, Longman 17.71% and Blair 16.01%. Above average growth is also projected in Fairfax 15.77% and Fisher 13.84%, also in the south-east.
48. In contrast, growth in a number of rural divisions is trending below average, with Maranoa 3.52%, Kennedy 4.27%, Capricornia 6.83% and Flynn 6.49%, although the divisions of Leichhardt, Herbert and Hinkler are experiencing higher rates of growth.
49. Table 7 compares the current enrolment as at end 19 February 2009 with projected enrolment as at 9 July 2012, and provides growth figures for each division.

11 Enrolment projections for existing divisions as at 9 July 2012
50. Projected elector numbers, shown in Table 7, range from a low of 90 878 electors in the Division of Maranoa to a high of 125 476 in the Division of Fadden, a difference of 34 598 electors or 38% more electors in the Division of Fadden than in the Division of Maranoa.
51. Those divisions above the projected enrolment tolerance, which therefore must lose electors, are generally outer-metropolitan divisions in the south east of the state. Rural divisions that are above the projected enrolment tolerance and that contain major regional centres are Hinkler, Herbert and Leichhardt (containing Bundaberg/Hervey Bay, Townsville and Cairns respectively).
52. Divisions below the projected enrolment tolerance, which therefore must gain electors, are the rural Division of Maranoa and the inner metropolitan Division of Moreton.
53. Graph 3 shows that: • 15 existing divisions (Bonner, Bowman, Brisbane, Capricornia, Dawson, Flynn, Griffith, Groom, Kennedy, Lilley, Moncrieff, Petrie, Rankin, Ryan and Wide Bay) are projected to be within the permissible range of plus or minus 3.5% of the projected average enrolment; • 2 existing divisions are projected to have less than the minimum permissible number of electors; that is, more than 3.5% below the projected enrolment average, with the divisions of Maranoa and Moreton being 6.53% and 4.71%, respectively, below the projected enrolment average; and • the remaining 12 (Blair, Dickson, Fadden, Fairfax, Fisher, Forde, Herbert, Hinkler, Leichhardt, Longman, McPherson and Oxley) divisions are all projected to have more than the maximum permissible number of electors and range from 3.82% above the projected enrolment average in Dickson to 29.05% above in Fadden.
54. The map on page 14 shows the 2012 projected enrolment for the 29 current divisions relative to the average projected enrolment. Divisions projected to be above the average are shown in grey while those projected to below the average are shown in white.

14 General strategy
55. The Committee’s general strategy for formulating proposed electoral boundaries was based on, and conforms to, the requirements of the Electoral Act.
56. The Committee acknowledged the importance of the guiding principle of relative equality of the number of electors in electoral divisions. The Committee also noted the flexibility provided by the numerical tolerances contained in the Electoral Act. The Committee considered that, where necessary, the use of these tolerances allowed it to construct divisions which addressed all other criteria.
57. Within the limits imposed by the numerical criteria and the other considerations, the Committee acknowledged that it is also highly desirable that electoral boundaries be readily recognisable. Local government authority boundaries, locality boundaries, main roads, railways, waterways and other linear features able to be used as boundaries, guided the Committee, where appropriate.
58. The Committee acknowledged that local government authority boundaries could not be used as a guide to drawing the divisional boundaries to the same extent as had been done in previous redistributions due to their larger size following the amalgamation of local government authorities in 2008. Therefore, the Committee adopted the use of locality boundaries, where appropriate and practicable, noting that these boundaries are representative of “community of interests”, particularly in regional and rural areas.
59. The Committee attempted to keep localities intact, splitting them where necessary only in order to achieve enrolment tolerances, or where there were readily identifiable boundaries that better assisted the definition of a division.
60. The Committee observed that the nature of Queensland’s geographical features impacts on how divisional boundaries are configured.
61. Pockets of growth continue to emerge in south-east Queensland and in-and-around major regional centres, whilst in general rural areas are not experiencing the same rates of growth.
62. The Committee considered that the degree and pattern of growth areas across Queensland permits the state to be segmented into three distinct regions. The regions are: South-East Queensland South of the Brisbane River, South-East Queensland North of the Brisbane River, and Country.
63. To enable this approach, the following three adjustments were applied: • Fairfax regains most of that part of the former Maroochy Shire Council in Wide Bay. • Somerset Regional Council is moved to Blair, with Dickson losing the former Esk Shire Council and Fisher losing the former Kilcoy Shire Council. • Ryan loses all of the electors south of the Brisbane River.
15 64. The regions are comprised of the following divisions:
Table 3: Queensland regions for proposed redistribution S.E. QLD South S.E. QLD North Country Blair Brisbane Capricornia Bonner Dickson Dawson Bowman Fairfax Flynn Fadden Fisher Groom Forde Lilley Herbert Griffith Longman Hinkler McPherson Petrie Kennedy Moncrieff Ryan Leichhardt Moreton Maranoa Oxley Wide Bay Rankin Wright (new division)
65. Wherever possible, the Committee sought to configure metropolitan divisions that were geographically compact, using identifiable boundaries such as the Brisbane River and major roads.
66. The Committee also noted that the inner-metropolitan divisions share a strong natural barrier: the Brisbane River. The Committee sought to maintain and reinforce this by moving the southern boundary of the Division of Ryan north to the river.
67. The divisions of Lilley and Petrie are projected to have below average enrolment and could gain electors, while the divisions of Dickson and Longman are projected to exceed enrolment tolerances and must lose. The Division of Brisbane is projected to have slightly above average enrolment, yet remains within numerical tolerances. Given this situation, the Committee took the opportunity to propose stronger boundaries for these divisions, and improve their overall numerical tolerances.
68. The Committee noted that a number of outer-metropolitan divisions in south-east Queensland are projected to exceed the upper limit of enrolment tolerances. The sufficiently large numbers of excess electors in the existing divisions to thesouth and south-west of Brisbane allowed the Committee to concur with various public suggestions and comments that this area was a logical location for the new division.
16 69. For rural divisions, the Committee explored the practicability of positioning each major regional centre entirely within the boundaries of an electoral division in order to counter the recent trend that has seen boundaries gradually move into regional centres over the course of successive redistributions. A number of suggestions and comments reflected such an approach.
70. The enrolment projections do not, however, within the context of this redistribution, allow for all regional centres, particularly those along the east coast, to be contained entirely within electoral divisions without significant changes to existing boundaries. Such boundary changes would have a major and, in the estimation of the Committee, undesirable impact on electors.
71. The Committee adopted an approach based on due consideration of the criteria, including enrolment tolerances, and the strong community of interests in major rural centres, as well as suggestions and comments. Having regard for these factors the Committee accepted that most provincial and/or rural divisions would best be configured with a major coastal centre supporting a rural element, using eitheran east-west or a north-south orientation as appropriate.
72. The divisions of Dawson, Herbert, Hinkler and Kennedy are, under the proposed boundaries, projected to contain in excess of 100 000 electors. While this number lies at the upper end of the permitted tolerances, each of these four divisions is below the permitted maximum of 100 635. The Committee accepted these high projected enrolment figures in order to achieve improved community of interest, as faras practicable, in these divisions.
73. In formulating the redistribution proposal, the Committee noted that the addition of a new division meant that the changes, so required, to electoral boundaries will result in elector movements throughout the state. Table 4 outlines the extent of elector movements resulting from the proposed boundaries.

Public suggestions and comments
74. The Committee considered all views presented in the public suggestions and comments that had been lodged within the statutory timeframe. Suggestions and comments are provided in full on the CD included with this report.
17 75. The following table outlines general themes contained within the public suggestions and comments, and how the Committee responded to them, having regard for the requirements of the Electoral Act:

Division of Bowman. proposed that the suburb of Carbrook be moved to Forde. Bowman remains otherwise unchanged, and thereby becomes wholly contained within the boundary of Redland City Council.
18 Guidelines for the naming of divisions
76. Naming of federal divisions has been the subject of a number of recommendations from parliamentary committees. The Guidelines for Naming Divisions were developed by the AEC from recommendations made by the 1995 Inquiry of the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters. The Guidelines were offered to interested persons when this redistribution was advertised, and are publicly available on the AEC website.
Name of new division
77. A number of suggestions and comments on suggestions were received proposing names for the new division, those being: Adermann, Bjelke-Peterson, Chalk, Coulter, Fulton, Gair, Killen, Theodore, Waters and Wright.
78. The Committee acknowledged the contribution to Australian society of those individuals suggested for consideration. The Committee sought to propose the name of an individual who, in addition to having “rendered outstanding service to their country,”7 also had an association with the region of the new proposed division. The Guidelines also recommend that “divisions should be named after deceased Australians”8; on this basis Coulter could not be considered.
79. In its deliberations, the Committee noted that in 2006 the then Redistribution Committee proposed to name the new division, located in central and western Queensland, “Wright” to honour the distinguished poet, Judith Arundell Wright (1915- 2000). Following public objections, as a result of local issues at the time, the then augmented Electoral Commission decided to change the name of the proposed new division. The augmented Electoral Commission indicated that were it not for those local issues, there would have been no reason to change the name.
80. The Committee considered the circumstances surrounding the above decision and observed that the reason for not adopting the name of “Wright” in 2006 does not apply to the geographic area of the new proposed division.
81. A number of individual suggestions and comments offered the name of “Wright” for the new division.
82. Therefore the Committee proposes to name the new division “Wright” in honour and recognition of Judith Wright’s service and contributions to Australia as a social and environmental activist, and poet. The Committee also considers that “Wright” is an appropriate choice of name given Ms Wright’s association with the area in which the new division is located, particularly Mount Tamborine.

19 83. Ms Wright had a record of being politically active and concerned for the environment. She was the founding president of the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland and was involved in measures to assist in saving the Great Barrier Reef, later helping to preserve large areas of rainforest and coastal lands. In the 1980s Ms Wright was a founding member of the Aboriginal Treaty Committee, which was the culmination of her work as a long-term champion of Aboriginal people and culture.
84. As well as her involvement in environmental and other social issues, Ms Wright was one of Australia’s major poets. During the 1950s and 1960s Ms Wright’s fame as a poet grew, although she also wrote children’s stories, books of criticisms and The Generations of Men, a family history about her grandparents who were early settlers in Queensland’s Dawson Valley.
85. Ms Wright received many awards, including Doctorates from the Australian National University, University of New England, University of Melbourne, University of Sydney and Griffith University, and the 1984 World Prize for Poetry.
86. In 1943 Ms Wright took up residence in the suburb of New Farm in Brisbane and after some years moved to Tamborine Mountain where she lived for nearly 20 years. This area is located west of the Gold Coast within the proposed new Division of Wright.
87. Ms Wright’s ashes were scattered on her husband’s grave at the Mount Tamborine cemetery.
Proposed redistribution of Queensland – by division
88. The Committee has examined each proposed electoral division, giving due consideration to the requirements of the Act.
89. The Committee’s redistribution proposal, as outlined previously, is discussed in greater detail in the paragraphs that follow. Statistical summaries of the proposed divisions are provided in Tables 8 and 9. The proposed divisions are dealt with in the order in which they generally relate to each other.
20 90. To assist the reader, this order is shown in the following table:
Table 6: Divisions in order of discussion S.E. QLD S.E. QLD Country South Divisions Page North Divisions Page Divisions Page Bonner 22 Fairfax 27 Leichhardt 30 Griffith 23 Fisher 28 Kennedy 31 Bowman 23 Longman 28 Herbert 31 McPherson 23 Petrie 28 Dawson 32 Moncrieff 24 Dickson 29 Capricornia 32 Fadden 24 Lilley 29 Flynn 32 Forde 24 Brisbane 29 Hinkler 33 Rankin 25 Ryan 30 Wide Bay 33 Moreton 25 Maranoa 34 Oxley 26 Groom 34 Blair 26 Wright 26
91. Table 8 lists the proposed divisions in Queensland with their initial enrolment based on enrolment figures from 19 February 2009, their percentage variation from the enrolment quota, their projected enrolment as at 9 July 2012, their percentage variation from projected enrolment, and the approximate area of each proposed division.
21 Proposed South-East Queensland (South) divisions
92. Pockets of extremely high projected growth for divisions within this region, approximately 500% in many Census Collection Districts, and nearing 14 000% in one case, presented the Committee with a significant challenge in producing boundaries for which both the lower and upper numerical tolerances were met. The locations of high growth pockets limited the number of workable options available to the Committee, as even small changes in elector numbers in one division have significant flow-on effects on all other divisions. In preparing this proposal, the Committee was required to consider the flow- on effects upon all divisions in this region whenever electors were transferred from one division to another.
93. The proposed boundaries in this region reflect the Committee’s desire to serve communities of interest, given the numerical challenges, and the need to accommodate a new division. These issues account for the proposed changes to existing boundaries within this region, and also account for the nature and character of the proposed new Division of Wright.
94. In considering boundaries for the South-East Queensland South region, the Committee was able to propose that the divisions of Bonner and Griffith not be changed, and that the Division of Bowman only change very slightly as outlined below. By dealing with these three divisions separately from the remaining divisions in this region, and with the southern boundary of the Division of Ryan moving north to the Brisbane River, and the proposed changes to Blair outlined below, there were sufficient electors in the remaining South-East Queensland South divisions to provide for a new division.
Bonner
95. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Bonner is 94 556. Bonner could gain up to 6 079 electors, or lose up to 727, and remain within numerical tolerances.
96. Bonner is bounded to the north by the Brisbane River, and in the east and west by divisions, Bowman and Griffith respectively, that do not have to gain or lose in order to remain within numerical tolerances. Of the two remaining divisions that adjoin Bonner, Moreton must gain and Rankin, on existing boundaries is projected to be within numerical tolerances.
97. The Committee proposes that, within the context of boundary changes required in other divisions in the vicinity, the boundaries of Bonner do not need to change at this redistribution. In this, the Committee concurs with a number of public suggestions and comments.
98. This results in a projected enrolment for Bonner of 94 556 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of minus 2.75%.
22 Griffith
99. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Griffith is 96 241. Griffith could gain up to 4 394 electors, or lose up to 2 412, and remain within numerical tolerances.
100. Griffith is bounded to the north by the Brisbane River; to the east by Bonner, whose border is unchanged; and to the south-west by Moreton which must gain in order to remain within numerical tolerances.
101. Griffith could, in theory, lose a small number of electors to Moreton. However, the Committee has determined that, within the context of boundary changes required to deal with high growth in this region, including the creation of the proposed new division, changes elsewhere to Moreton better contribute to stronger boundaries within the region than a simple Griffith/Moreton transfer. As such, the boundaries for Griffith remain unchanged. In this, the Committee concurs with a number of public suggestions and comments.
102. This results in a projected enrolment for Griffith of 96 241 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of minus 1.02%.
Bowman
103. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Bowman is 99 995. Bowman could gain up to 640 electors, or lose up to 6 166, and remain within numerical tolerances.
104. Bowman is bounded on the west by the division of Bonner, and includes North Stradbroke Island and the smaller southern Moreton Bay islands. Bowman is also adjoined to the south west by Rankin and Forde, and to the south by Fadden.
105. The Committee determined that a total of 934 electors in two CCDs in the suburb of Carbrook in the Logan City Council area should be transferred to Forde. This small change brings Bowman’s projected enrolment closer to the projected average, and also moves the boundary of Bowman into alignment with the boundary of Redland City Council. Bowman thereby becomes wholly a Redland City Council based division. In making this proposal, the Committee concurs with those suggestions that recommend the suburbs of Thorneside and Birkdale remain in Bowman.
106. This results in a projected enrolment for Bowman of 99 061 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of plus 1.88%.
McPherson
107. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of McPherson is 101 376. It must lose at least 741 electors, or up to 7 547, to fall within numerical tolerances.
108. With regard for the significant challenge presented by very high growth in the south- east of Queensland, the Committee proposes that 5 640 electors in the western area of the McPherson be transferred to the new Division of Wright. In this, the Committee
23 concurs with a number of public suggestions and comments that acknowledge that divisions located in the Gold Coast City Council area are required to contribute to the new division.
109. The Currumbin and Tallebudgera Valleys are retained in McPherson due to their strong transport and community of interest links with the coastal part of Gold Coast City Council.
110. This results in a projected enrolment for McPherson of 95 736 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of minus 1.54%.
Moncrieff
111. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Moncrieff is 98 931. Moncrieff could gain up to 1 704 electors, or lose up to 5 102, and remain within numerical tolerances.
112. The Committee proposes to transfer 5 125 electors in the west of the division to Wright. It further proposed that 1 274 electors in the suburb of Nerang, currently in the division of Fadden, are transferred to Moncrieff, rather than Wright, due to the strong community of interest Nerang has with the coastal part of Gold Coast City Council.
113. This results in a projected enrolment for Moncrieff of 95 080 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of minus 2.21%.
Fadden
114. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Fadden is 125 476. It must lose at least 24 841 electors, or up to 31 647, to fall within numerical tolerances.
115. The Committee proposes that electors in the western area of Fadden be transferred to adjoining divisions, including Wright, with the transfer of 18 654 electors to Forde, 6 220 electors to Wright, and 1 274 electors to Moncrieff.
116. This results in a projected enrolment for Fadden of 99 328 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of plus 2.16%.
117. The proposed boundaries will place the divisions of Fadden, Moncrieff and McPherson wholly within Gold Coast City Council.
Forde
118. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Forde is 105 524. It must lose at least 4 889 electors, or up to 11 695, to fall within numerical tolerances.
119. Currently, Forde takes in a large portion of the Scenic Rim Regional Council and a small portion of the Gold Coast City Council. The Committee proposes to transfer a total of 38 640 electors from these areas to Wright.
24 120. At the same time, the Committee proposes that Forde gain from Bowman 934 electors in the suburb of Carbrook, in Logan City Council, and 18 654 electors from Fadden. In addition, the Committee proposes that Forde gain 12 556 electors from Rankin in the Logan City Council area.
121. This results in a projected enrolment for Forde of 99 028 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of plus 1.85%.
Rankin
122. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Rankin is 95 105. Rankin could gain up to 5 530 electors, or lose up to 1 276, and remain within numerical tolerances.
123. Rankin is currently located entirely within the area of Logan City Council. The Committee proposes to extend the boundary of Rankin north into the Brisbane City Council area, gaining 10 409 electors from Moreton and 14 729 electors from Oxley.
124. The Committee proposes to transfer 12 556 electors to Forde, as outlined above; 8 068 electors in Browns Plains, Greenbank and Boronia Heights areas to Wright; and 3 026 electors in the suburb of Underwood to Moreton.
125. The proposed changes to Rankin alter the orientation of the division from its current east-west disposition to a more compact area.
126. This results in a projected enrolment for Rankin of 96 593 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of minus 0.66%.
Moreton
127. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Moreton is 92 656. Moreton must gain 1 173 electors, or up to 7 979, to fall within numerical tolerances.
128. Moreton is bounded to the north-west by the Brisbane River; to the east by Griffith and Bonner; to the south by Rankin; and by Oxley to the west. Griffith and Bonner, as stated previously, are not proposed to change and therefore do not offer any electors to Moreton.
129. The Committee proposes that, in order to bring Moreton within the projected enrolment tolerances, 11 786 electors be transferred from Oxley and 3 026 electors from Rankin. This equates to an increase of 14 812 and would place Moreton above the 3.5% projected enrolment limit. To offset this increase, 10 409 electors are transferred from Moreton to Rankin as outlined above.
130. This results in a projected enrolment for Moreton of 97 059 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of minus 0.18%.
25 Oxley
131. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Oxley is 112 100. It must lose at least 11 465 electors, or up to 18 271, to fall within numerical tolerances.
132. The Committee proposes to move Oxley’s northern boundary to the Brisbane River and thereby gain 17 053 electors from Ryan.
133. The Committee proposes to contract Oxley on its eastern and western boundaries, transferring 11 786 electors to Moreton and 14 729 electors to Rankin, along with 5 537 electors to Blair.
134. This results in a projected enrolment for Oxley of 97 101 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of minus 0.13%.
Blair
135. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Blair is 107 378. It must lose at least 6 743 electors, or up to 13 549, to fall within numerical tolerances.
136. Blair currently takes in Lockyer Valley Regional Council, the western part of Scenic Rim Regional Council, formerly Boonah Shire Council, and part of Ipswich City Council.
137. The Committee proposes to transfer to Wright the 30 452 electors of those parts of Lockyer Valley and Scenic Rim Regional Councils, and to retain Ipswich City Council as the southern boundary of the proposed division.
138. The Committee proposes to transfer Somerset Regional Council, made up of the former Esk and Kilcoy Shire Councils, to Blair, thereby gaining from Dickson the 11 566 electors of the former Esk Shire Council and from Fisher the 2 622 electors of the former Kilcoy Shire Council. The Committee also proposes that Blair gain 5 537 electors from Oxley in the vicinity of Springfield Lakes and Collingwood Park.
139. Thus, Blair remains a division centred on Ipswich and adds the Brisbane Valley to the north, with strong communities of interest between these regions. A number of public suggestions and comments exhibit a preference for this outcome.
140. This results in a projected enrolment for Blair of 96 651 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of minus 0.60%.
Wright
141. The proposed Division of Wright is created by gaining electors from the following existing divisions: • Blair – 30 452 electors from those parts of Lockyer Valley and Scenic Rim Regional Councils; • Fadden – 6 220 electors from Gold Coast City Council;
26 • Forde – 38 640 electors from Gold Coast City Council and Scenic Rim Regional Council; • McPherson – 5 640 electors from Gold Coast City Council; • Moncrieff – 5 125 electors from Gold Coast City Council; and • Rankin – 8 068 electors from Logan City Council.
142. The Committee acknowledges that the boundaries of the proposed Division of Wright encroach into urban and peri-urban areas of the Gold Coast and Logan cities due to the numbers required; in much the same way as boundaries move into major regional centres in the north of the state. A number of public suggestions and comments recommended that the new division be placed in this area of the state.
143. The Committee carefully considered the proposed boundary for the new division and accepts that the narrow land-bridge connecting the Scenic Rim and Lockyer Valley Regional Councils is justified on the basis of the physical features of the area. Namely, the south-western boundary of Ipswich City Council provides a strong boundary as the landforms that follow the local government area boundary are sufficiently distinct, dividing this portion of Ipswich City Council clearly from those portions of Wright to the east and west.
144. This results in a projected enrolment for Wright of 94 145 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of minus 3.17%; however, the division is located in an area projected to sustain long-term above-average growth.
Proposed South-East Queensland (North) divisions
Fairfax
145. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Fairfax is 107 069. It must lose at least 6 434 electors, or up to 13 240, to fall within numerical tolerances.
146. The Committee proposes that Fairfax gain 2 148 electors from Wide Bay in that part of the former Maroochy Shire Council currently in Wide Bay. This is an area surrounding Doonan, not including Weyba Downs.
147. The Committee proposes that Fairfax lose 12 715 electors to Fisher in the areas of Sippy Downs and south and west of Palmwoods.
148. This results in a projected enrolment for Fairfax of 96 502 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of minus 0.75%.
27 Fisher
149. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Fisher is 102 015. It must lose at least 1 380 electors, or up to 8 186, to fall within numerical tolerances.
150. The Committee proposes that Fisher lose to Blair its part of Somerset Regional Council, the former Kilcoy Shire Council, with the transfer of 2 622 electors. The Committee also proposes that Fisher lose its part of Moreton Bay Regional Council to Longman, with the transfer of 17 000 electors.
151. The Committee proposes that Fisher gain 12 715 electors from Fairfax in the areas of Sippy Downs and south and west of Palmwoods.
152. This results in a projected enrolment for Fisher of 95 108 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of minus 2.18%.
Longman
153. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Longman is 109 170. It must lose at least 8 535 electors, or up to 15 341, to fall within numerical tolerances.
154. The Committee proposes that Longman lose 8 992 electors to Dickson in the area of Kallangur, and 24 901 electors to Petrie in the areas of Deception Bay, Griffin, Mango Hill and North Lakes.
155. The Committee proposes that Longman gain 3 722 electors from Dickson in that part of Moreton Bay Regional Council generally north of Lake Samsonvale and the North Pine River. Longman also gains 17 000 electors in that part of Moreton Bay Regional Council currently in Fisher.
156. This results in a projected enrolment for Longman of 95 999 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of minus 1.27%.
Petrie
157. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Petrie is 96 429. Petrie can gain up to 4 206 electors, or lose up to 2 600, and remain within numerical tolerances.
158. The Committee proposes that Petrie gain 12 806 electors from Lilley in the areas of Bracken Ridge, Brighton, Deagon and Sandgate, along with a further gain of 24 901 electors from Longman in the areas of Deception Bay, Griffin, Mango Hill and North Lakes.
159. The Committee proposes that Petrie lose 38 143 electors to Lilley in the areas of Aspley, Bridgeman Downs, Carseldine, Chermside West, Everton Park, McDowall and Stafford Heights.
28 160. This results in a projected enrolment for Petrie of 95 993 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of minus 1.27%.
Dickson
161. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Dickson is 100 944. It must lose at least 309 electors, and up to 7 115, to fall within numerical tolerances.
162. The Committee proposes that the part of Somerset Regional Council in Dickson, the former Esk Shire Council, be transferred to Blair, with a corresponding loss of 11 566 electors. In addition, the Committee proposes that Dickson lose 3 722 electors to Longman in that part of Moreton Bay Regional Council generally north of Lake Samsonvale and the North Pine River.
163. The Committee proposes that Dickson gain 8 992 electors from Longman in the area of Kallangur.
164. This results in a projected enrolment for Dickson of 94 648 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of minus 2.66%. Dickson remains wholly contained within Moreton Bay Regional Council.
Lilley
165. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Lilley is 94 144. Lilley can gain up to 6 491 electors, or lose up to 315, and remain within numerical tolerances.
166. The Committee proposes that Lilley gain 4 969 electors from the Division of Brisbane in the areas of Everton Park and Stafford, along with 38 143 electors from Petrie in the areas of Aspley, Bridgeman Downs, Carseldine, Chermside West, Everton Park, McDowall and Stafford Heights.
167. The Committee proposes that Lilley lose 12 806 electors to Petrie in the areas of Bracken Ridge, Brighton, Deagon and Sandgate, along with 27 410 electors to Brisbane in the areas of Albion, Ascot, Clayfield, Hamilton, Hendra, Kedron, Lutwyche, Pinkenba, Eagle Farm, Stafford and Wooloowin.
168. This results in a projected enrolment for Lilley of 97 040 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of minus 0.2%.
Brisbane
169. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Brisbane is 98 050. Brisbane can gain up to 2 585 electors, or lose up to 4 221, and remain within numerical tolerances.
29 170. The Committee proposes that Brisbane gain 27 410 electors from Lilley in the areas of Albion, Ascot, Clayfield, Hamilton, Hendra, Kedron, Lutwyche, Pinkenba, Eagle Farm, Stafford and Wooloowin, along with 2 453 electors from Ryan in the area of Auchenflower.
171. The Committee proposes that Brisbane lose 4 969 electors to Lilley in the areas of Everton Park and Stafford, along with 23 165 electors to Ryan in the areas of Ashgrove, Bardon, Enoggera, Ferny Grove, Keperra, Mitchelton and Upper Kedron.
172. This results in a projected enrolment for Brisbane of 99 779 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of plus 2.62%. Brisbane becomes based on the inner suburbs of Brisbane.
Ryan
173. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Ryan is 94 269. Ryan can gain up to 6 366 electors, or lose up to 440, and remain within numerical tolerances.
174. The Committee proposes that Ryan lose to Oxley all 17 053 electors currently in Ryan south of the Brisbane River. Ryan is proposed to become a division located wholly to the north of the Brisbane River. The Committee also proposes that Ryan lose 2 453 electors to Brisbane in the area of Auchenflower.
175. The Committee proposes that Ryan gain 23 165 electors from Brisbane in the areas of Ashgrove, Bardon, Enoggera, Ferny Grove, Keperra, Mitchelton and Upper Kedron.
176. This results in a projected enrolment for Ryan of 97 928 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of plus 0.72%.
177. With respect to the proposed boundaries of the divisions of Brisbane, Dickson, Lilley, Petrie and Ryan the Committee decided the boundary between Brisbane City and Moreton Bay Regional Councils should be preserved, except for the Division of Petrie which currently contains parts of both LGAs. The Committee is of the view that the community of interest of each of the divisions concerned is better served by keeping that boundary intact.
Proposed country divisions
Leichhardt
178. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Leichhardt is 107 893, and must lose at least 7 258 electors, or up to 14 064, to fall within numerical tolerances.
179. The Division of Leichhardt is projected to be over the enrolment tolerances and Kennedy is projected to be slightly below projected average enrolment. Leichhardt must lose at least 7 258 electors to bring it within numerical tolerances, and can only lose to Kennedy as no other division is contiguous with Leichhardt. However, Kennedy is only
30 able to gain up to 4 036 electors and remain within numerical tolerances. Thus, as all of Leichhardt’s surplus electors must be transferred to Kennedy alone, Kennedy must lose to its adjoining divisions. This results in a flow-on effect where surplus electors are moved from one division to the next contiguous division(s).
180. The Committee is of the view that due to the strong transport and community of interest links of both Cape York Peninsula and the Torres Strait Islands with Cairns, these areas are best served by remaining in a division containing Cairns, or a part thereof. The Committee acknowledged the significant number of public suggestions and comments recommending such an outcome.
181. The Committee proposes to transfer a total of 9 804 electors to Kennedy: 6 391 from the suburb of Edmonton, and 3 413 from the Tablelands Regional Council area, thereby moving Leichhardt’s boundary into alignment with the boundaries of the Cook Shire Council and Cairns Regional Council, except in the most southern part.
182. This results in a projected enrolment for Leichhardt of 98 089 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of plus 0.88%.
Kennedy
183. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Kennedy is 96 599. Kennedy can gain up to 4 036 electors, or lose up to 2 770, and remain within numerical tolerances.
184. As Kennedy must gain from Leichhardt, the Committee proposes that Kennedy gain 9 804 electors from Leichhardt as outlined above. This pushes Kennedy above the upper limit of numerical tolerances. To offset this increase the Committee proposes that Kennedy lose 7 414 electors to Herbert, in the Bohle and Northern Beaches area of Townsville City Council.
185. Due to numerical requirements in the proposed Division of Dawson, the Committee also proposes to move 1 257 electors south of Townsville from Dawson into Kennedy.
186. As recommended in public suggestions and comments, the local government areas of Cloncurry, Charters Towers, Hinchinbrook and Mount Isa are, under this proposal, retained in Kennedy.
187. This results in a projected enrolment for Kennedy of 100 246 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of plus 3.10%.
Herbert
188. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Herbert is 102 521. It must lose at least 1 886 electors, or up to 8 692, to fall within numerical tolerances.
189. The Committee proposes that Herbert lose a total of 9 683 electors from Annandale and Wulguru to Dawson, and gain 7 414 electors from Kennedy as outlined above.
31 190. The Committee determined that Lavarack Barracks should remain within Herbert due to the strong community of interest that exists between the barracks and Townsville.
191. This results in a projected enrolment for Herbert of 100 252 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of plus 3.11%.
Dawson
192. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Dawson is 96 160. Dawson can gain up to 4 475 electors, or lose up to 2 331, and remain within numerical tolerances.
193. The Committee proposes that Dawson gain 9 683 electors from the Division of Herbert, in the Annandale and Wulguru areas of Townsville City Council, and 336 electors from the Division of Capricornia, in the Dunnrock and McEwens Beach area south of Mackay.
194. The Committee proposes that Dawson lose 4 312 electors to Capricornia in the Ooralea, Alexandra, Walkerston and Pleystowe areas west of Mackay and 1 257 electors to Kennedy, in an area south of Townsville.
195. The proposed boundary changes in Mackay move as few electors as possible, given the statutory requirements of the redistribution process.
196. This results in a projected enrolment for Dawson of 100 610 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of plus 3.47%.
Capricornia
197. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Capricornia is 100 090. Capricornia can gain up to 545 electors, or lose up to 6 261, and remain within numerical tolerances.
198. The Committee proposes that Capricornia lose 8 244 electors to the Division of Flynn in the Gracemere and Mount Morgan areas of Rockhampton Regional Council, in addition to the 336 electors lost to Dawson south of Mackay.
199. The Committee proposes that Capricornia gain 4 312 electors from Dawson in the Ooralea, Alexandra, Walkerston and Pleystowe areas west of Mackay.
200. This results in a projected enrolment for Capricornia of 95 822 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of minus 1.45%.
Flynn
201. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Flynn is 94 606. Flynn can gain up to 6 029 electors, or lose up to 777, and remain within numerical tolerances.
202. The Committee proposes that Flynn lose 7 234 electors to Maranoa in the Barcaldine/ Blackall-Tambo/Longreach/Winton local government areas. This proposed transfer of electors concurs with a number of public suggestions and comments. While the
32 proposed change represents a substantial change to the existing boundary of Flynn, the Committee recognises that strong community of interests exists between the four central western local government areas and the Division of Maranoa.
203. The Committee proposes that Flynn gain 8 244 electors from Capricornia in the Gracemere and Mount Morgan areas of Rockhampton Regional Council, in addition to gaining 1 165 electors from Hinkler in the area surrounding Biggenden.
204. This results in a projected enrolment for Flynn of 96 781 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of minus 0.46%.
Hinkler
205. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Hinkler is 104 200. It must lose at least 3 565 electors, or up to 10 371, to fall within numerical tolerances.
206. The Committee sought to retain North Bundaberg in Hinkler, as the community of interest of this area is with Bundaberg. Hinkler must lose electors, and Wide Bay can gain electors and remain within numerical tolerances.
207. The Committee proposes that North Bundaberg and the townships of Howard, Burrum Town and Torbanlea be retained in Hinkler. To accommodate this, the Committee proposes that Hinkler lose to Flynn 1 165 electors in the area surrounding Biggenden, and 2 716 electors to Wide Bay in areas south of Hervey Bay and the former Woocoo Shire Council.
208. This results in a projected enrolment for Hinkler of 100 319 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of plus 3.17%.
Wide Bay
209. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Wide Bay is 95 394. Wide Bay can gain up to 5 241 electors, or lose up to 1 565, and remain within numerical tolerances.
210. The Committee proposes that Wide Bay gain 2 716 electors from Hinkler in the area south of Hervey Bay, north to the Susan River and Torbanlea-Pialba Road and the former Woocoo Shire Council.
211. The Committee proposes that Wide Bay lose 2 148 electors to Fairfax in that part of the former Maroochy Shire Council currently in Wide Bay, the area surrounding Doonan, not including Weyba Downs.
212. This results in a projected enrolment for Wide Bay of 95 962 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of minus 1.31%.
33 Maranoa
213. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Maranoa is 90 878. It must gain at least 2 951 electors, or up to 9 757, to fall within numerical tolerances.
214. The Committee proposes that Maranoa gain 7 234 electors via the transfer to Maranoa of the Barcaldine, Blackall-Tambo, Longreach and Winton local government areas currently in Flynn. This change to Maranoa allows the eastern boundaries of the division to remain unchanged.
215. Given the relatively low population density across the division, Maranoa increases in geographic area in order to gain sufficient electors to meet the requirements of the Electoral Act.
216. The Committee is of the view that the proposed boundaries constitute an improvement to community of interests in both Maranoa and Flynn.
217. This results in a projected enrolment for Maranoa of 98 112 or a variation from the projected average enrolment of plus 0.91%.
Groom
218. Projected enrolment in the existing Division of Groom is 97 182. Groom can gain up to 3 453 electors, or lose up to 3 353, and remain within numerical tolerances.
219. The Committee proposes to leave the boundaries of Groom unchanged.
220. This results in a projected enrolment only 50 electors below the projected average or a variation from the projected average enrolment of minus 0.05%.
Conclusion
221. The Committee unanimously agreed on the redistributed boundaries and commends its redistribution proposal for Queensland.
222. In developing and assessing the impacts of the redistribution proposal, the Committee has satisfied itself that the proposed boundaries meet the requirements ofthe Electoral Act.
