Baulkham Hills is a 41 km² electorate in Sydney's north-west, taking in the suburbs of Baulkham Hills, Bella Vista and parts of Carlingford, Castle Hill, Kellyville, North Rocks and West Pennant Hills.[1]

The Baulkham Hills electorate was first created in 1991, replacing the short-lived electorate of Carlingford (1988-1991). As with its predecessor, it covers a series of wealthy and largely conservative suburbs.
