The Electoral district of Wendouree is an electoral district of the Victorian Legislative Assembly in Australia. It was created in the redistribution of electoral boundaries in 2013, and will come into effect at the 2014 state election.[1]
It largely covers the area of the abolished district of Ballarat West, covering north, southwest and west suburbs of Ballarat, including Wendouree, Alfredton, Delacombe, Redan, Ballarat North, Invermay, Black Hill and Brown Hill, as well as much of the CBD. The south suburb of Sebastopol was moved to the adjoining district of Buninyong.[2]
The abolished seat of Ballarat West is held by Labor MP Sharon Knight. Wendouree is estimated to be a notionally Liberal seat by a margin of 0.1% due to the boundary changes.[3]
