  • Victorian and ACT Electoral Boundary Redistribution
    Barton Deakin Brief: Victorian and ACT Electoral Boundary Redistribution 9 April 2018 Last week, the Australian Electoral Commission (‘AEC’) announced substantial redistributions for the Electorate Divisions in Victoria and the ACT. The redistribution creates a third Federal seat in the ACT and an additional seat in Victoria. These new seats are accompanied by substantial boundary changes in Victoria and the ACT. ABC electoral analyst Antony Green has predicted that the redistribution would notionally give the Australian Labor Party an additional three seats in the next election – the Divisions of Dunkley, Fraser, and Bean – while the seat of Corangamite would become one of the most marginal seats in the country. The proposed changes will now be subject to a consultation period where objections to the changes may be submitted to the AEC. The objection period closes at 6pm May 4 in both the ACT and Victoria. A proposed redistribution for South Australia will be announced on April 13. This Barton Deakin Brief will summarize the key electoral boundary changes in the ACT and Victoria. New Seats The Redistribution Committee has proposed that four of Victoria’s electoral divisions be renamed. Additionally, two new seats are to be created in Victoria and the ACT New Seats Proposed for Victoria and ACT DIVISION OF BEAN (ACT) New seat encompassing much of the former Division of Canberra. The seat will be named after World War I war correspondent Charles Edwin Woodrow Green (1879-1968) DIVISION OF FRASER (VIC) New seat named after former Liberal Party Prime Minister John Malcolm Fraser AC CH GCL (1930-2015), to be located in Melbourne’s western suburbs.

  • Australian Greens Victoria 37 Pages AUSTRALIAN GREENS VICTORIA SUBMISSION to the VICTORIAN REDISTRIBUTION
    Suggestion 97 Australian Greens Victoria 37 pages AUSTRALIAN GREENS VICTORIA SUBMISSION TO THE VICTORIAN REDISTRIBUTION Martin Shield - State Director AGV Introduction The Australian Greens Victoria submit the following proposal for the consideration of the Redistribution Committee. The submission proposes changes to boundaries across the whole of Victoria and the creation of the new electorate of Hawke. We submit that the proposed changes set out in this submission are an effective way to increase the numbers of electorates in Victoria to 39, in keeping with the requirements of the Commonwealth Electoral Act, while preserving and maintaining communities of interest within electorates. Boundary Changes: the challenge for the committee Unlike the last redistribution, a large number of seats currently meet the requirements of the Act, and many will remain within their 3.5% permissible window even by the end of the projection period. However there is still a large amount of projected elector growth in Melbourne’s outer suburban fringe, and the creation of a new electorate will inevitably have knock on effects elsewhere. There is significant overpopulation of seats in Melbourne’s north-west and outer south-east, while seats that are underpopulated are concentrated in Melbourne’s east. A simple solution makes itself clear. The combined overpopulation count in the suburbs and exurbs of Melbourne’s outer north and west, combined with those in Victoria’s three largest regional cities of Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo, collectively reaches over 100,000 electors.1 This is almost entirely sufficient to create a new electorate, with the 2025 projected average for new electorates requiring 117,107 electors.

Project coordinator: Henriette Mortensen, arch. MAA Project team: Paule Ducourtial, arch. MAA Isabel Sandra Duckett, arch. MAA Lisa Hilden Nielsen, stud. arch. Joan Maria Raun Nielsen, stud. arch. foreword Over the last decade Melbourne has experienced an urban renaissance through a gradual but consistent transformation of streets, lanes and other spaces into public places that are culturally engaging and diverse, and that respond to the city’s intrinsic physical character. Much of this change is attributable to the City’s strong strategic direction in planning and design since the mid 1980s. From this period, a vigorous pace of reform commenced through collaboration and joint initiatives between the State Government and the City of Melbourne. This has seen the consistent application of a range of urban design strategies and individual initiatives of varying scales. It has focused on achievable actions, and aimed at reinforcing the existing qualities of the city. In economic terms, the result has been a reversal of the long downward trend in CBD commercial activity and employment of previous decades. This has been supported by rediscovery of the city as a centre of culture and entertainment, a haven for small creative businesses, and a great place to live and learn.
