Australian Electoral Commission
Council plan would see shire remain in electorate
Colac Otway Shire Council has proposed an alternative to the Australian Electoral Commission’s draft electoral boundary changes that would balance voter numbers and keep the entire shire in the same federal electorate.
Make sure objections are valid
Objections to moving Colac into a different federal electorate might be invalid if they focus on wanting to stay in a marginal seat, a business leader says.
Electoral divisions to change
Colac and Beeac will move into a federal electorate that’s six times the size of their current electorate.
Proposed electoral changes draw objections
Colac Otway Shire mayor Joe McCracken and Corangamite MP Sarah Henderson say they will object to the Australian Electoral Commission’s proposal to split the shire across two federal electorates.
