Electoral district of Mirani

Mirani is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Queensland.

It covers much of the Queensland coast between the cities of Rockhampton and Mackay, as well as the hinterland west of Mackay. Towns include St Lawrence, Carmila, Sarina, and Eungella. The district is named after the town of Mirani.

Mirani is currently held by the Ted Malone, who was originally elected under the banner of the National Party but is now a member of the Liberal National Party of Queensland.

A redistribution in 2008 made Mirani a notionally Labor held seat with a 1.2% margin, but Malone achieved a swing strong enough to retain this seat at the 2009 election.
