Step 2. Invitation for suggestions – Victorian federal redistribution

Members of the public were invited to submit written suggestions relating to the redistribution between Wednesday 18 October 2017.  Guidelines were available to help submissions and those making suggestions were recommended to look at:

• Essential information about the Victorian redistribution
• Who makes the proposed redistribution and what factors do they consider?

Suggestions may concern one or more federal electoral divisions and may be about:

• where the new electoral division should be located,
• names of federal electoral divisions,
• boundaries of federal electoral divisions, or
• the names and boundaries of federal electoral divisions.

In developing a suggestion about the names of federal electoral divisions, members of the public were advised it may be helpful to consider:

• Guidelines for naming divisions,
• Information about the names of existing federal electoral divisions, and
• origins of the names for electoral divisions which are no longer in use.

In developing a suggestion about the boundaries of a federal electoral division, members of the public were advised it may be helpful to consider:

• Current enrolment quota
• Maps of current federal electoral division boundaries, which are available in each electoral division's profile
• Enrolment projections

The 67 suggestions received by the Victorian Redistribution Committee are provided below.
