Created | 1882 |
Abolished | 2006 |
South Eastern Province was an electorate of the Victorian Legislative Council[1] from November 1882. It was created in the redistribution of provinces in 1882 when the original provinces[2] of Central and Eastern were abolished. The new South Eastern, South Yarra, North Yarra, North Eastern, North Central, Melbourne East, Melbourne North, Melbourne South and Melbourne West Provinces were then created.[1]
The Legislative Council Act, 1881, created and defined the South Eastern Province as consisting of the following Divisions: Alexandra, Yea, Eltham, Lilydale, Bulleen, Boroondara, Nunawading, Malvern, Caulfield, Oakleigh, Moorabbin, Dandenong, Berwick, Cranbourne, Mornington, Flinders, Phillip Island and Brighton.[3]
It was abolished at the 2006 state election in the wake of the Bracks Labor government's reform of the Legislative Council.
