Revision as of 09:58, 9 January 2007
The electoral district of Southern Metropolitan Region is one of eight new electoral divisions of the state of Victoria, Australia, each of which elects five members to the upper house of the Parliament of Victoria, the Victorian Legislative Council, by proportional representation. It was created in 2006 following the reform of the Legislative Council by the Australian Labor Party state government of Steve Bracks. It comprises the Legislative Assembly districts of Albert Park, Bentleigh, Brighton, Burwood, Caulfield, Hawthorn, Kew, Malvern, Oakleigh, Prahran and Sandringham.
Southern Metropolitan first elected members at the 25 November 2006 state election. The region covers most of the wealthiest areas of Melbourne (the districts of Brighton, Caulfield, Kew and Malvern have never elected Labor members, while Hawthorn and Sandringham are also safe Liberal seats), and only a few strong Labor areas (Albert Park and Oakleigh being the only safe Labor seats).
