Electoral District map[1] |
Elizabeth is a single-member electoral district for the South Australian House of Assembly. It first existed from 1970 to 2006, when its boundaries were moved south and it was renamed to Little Para. The 2016 redistribution moved it further north and renamed it back to Elizabeth for the 2018 election. The district is in the northern suburbs of Adelaide, and named for the suburb of Elizabeth.
Current incarnation
The 2016 redistribution which took effect with the 2018 state election renamed Little Para back to Elizabeth, and moved the boundaries further north following the abolition of Napier to create King. It consists of the suburbs of Blakeview, Craigmore, Elizabeth, Elizabeth Downs, Elizabeth East, Elizabeth Grove, Elizabeth Park, Elizabeth South, Elizabeth Vale.[2]
The 2020 redistribution has moved the southern boundary which was the Little Para River further north with Elizabeth Vale and parts of Elizabeth South which contained the former Elizabeth Holden Car Plant now moved to Ramsay. Hogarth Road has now become the Southern Boundary and the suburb of Blakeview remains the Northern Boundary. [2]
