    The Federal Redistribution 2011 South Australia • t; Public Suggestion Number 1 Martin Gordon 8 pages 86 Companion Crescent Flynn ACT 2615 [email protected] 02-62589372 The Redistribution Committee for South Australia Dear Members, Redistribution of Federal Electoral Boundaries in South Australia I have a whole of state redistribution proposal for South Australia. The population differences between the 11 existing divisions are not significantly out of kilter with the current average enrolment and tolerances. Comparatively minor changes I suggest are necessary to bring all the divisions within tolerance in 2015. The nature ofthe changes I have proposed are consistent with economics, social and regional community of interests; communications and travel within the divisions; physical features and existing boundaries. I have provided comments in relation to each division and have compiled the changes into a table which demonstrates they are all well within tolerances in 2015. Grey The existing division is slightly below average enrolment at 100,095 electors. It is growing at nearly the state average electors growth over the next four years (4.02% versus 4.09%). I have proposed no change to the boundaries and the projected enrolments for 2015 will remain at 104,118 or 99.39% of projected average enrolment at that time. Both adjoining divisions of Wakefield and Barker are above quota and any changes to their boundaries can be applied to remedy elector shortfalls in other divisions. Barker The existing division is well above quota and its growth rate is also above the state­ wide average (4.41 % versus 4.09%), and shedding several thousand electors to Wakefield between Gawler and the Barossa, the principal localities are Lyndoch and Sandy Creek.
