Electoral boundaries shifting
NEW proposed boundaries for state electorates have been released by Victoria’s Electoral Boundaries Commission.
The electoral boundary for Mordialloc is set to change, providing a boost to the Labor party whose margin may slightly increase.
The EBC has proposed to abolish the Keysborough seat currently held by Labor minister Martin Pakula. Its voters will be redistributed to surrounding electorates in Dandenong, Clarinda, Mulgrave, and Mordialloc.
A report prepared by the EBC on the proposal read that Mordialloc will “be expanded east to gain about 10,000 electors in Braeside, Waterways and most of the Keysborough locality, offsetting its losses to Clarinda District in the north. This would greatly improve the shape of Mordialloc District, while also bringing in the relatively isolated Waterways locality where community links are potentially strongest. Importantly, the communities facing Port Phillip Bay would be maintained.”
