Transcription
First incarnation (1970–2006)
The district of Elizabeth was first created in 1970 when the number of electorates increased from 39 to 47 and was abolished in 2006. Though Elizabeth was historically a safe Labor seat, it was held for a time by independent-turned-Labor MP Martyn Evans.
Elizabeth was renamed Little Para following boundary changes in the 2003 redistribution which took effect at the 2006 state election.
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 consisted of the suburbs of Blakeview, Craigmore, Elizabeth, Elizabeth Downs, Elizabeth East, Elizabeth Grove, Elizabeth Park, Elizabeth South, Elizabeth Vale.[2]
As a result of being over quota 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.[3]
