Electoral Boundary - Redistribution Update - September 2024
On 12 September the AEC (Australian Electoral Commission)’s augmented Electoral Commission for NSW moved one step closer to finalising the boundaries for the next federal election. The augmented Electoral Commission has not substantially changed its initial draft, released on 14 June 2024, which included the abolition of the Division of North Sydney. There has been a slight change to the boundary between Bradfield and Berowra. See the proposed redistribution announcement here.
Bradfield moves south to include the suburbs of Willoughby, Artarmon, Middle Cove, Castle Crag, Northbridge, Naremburn and St Leonards. If you live in one of these suburbs, and are interested to find out what we do, sign up to our newsletter.

We are Voices of Bradfield
Voices of Bradfield calls for integrity and effectiveness in Federal politics. We are building a voice in our democracy for the people of Bradfield, our electorate on the North Shore of Sydney.
We did that in the 2022 Federal election by supporting a community independent candidate, Nicolette Boele. Nicolette's campaign was hugely successful. We turned a very safe Liberal seat into a marginal seat.
We have endorsed Nicolette as our community independent candidate in the next Federal election (or by-election) and she's announced that she will run again.

things that matter most to the people of
Bradfield: action on climate, responsible, forward-thinking economic decisions, restoring integrity to politics, and fairness.
Our electorate of Bradfield
The electorate of Bradfield was formed in the 1949 expansion of Parliament, and has been a safe Liberal Party seat until 2022, when it became marginal.
Today, Bradfield is a highly-educated and diverse community, with 53% of adult residents having a Bachelor degree and above (NSW: 28%).
Over 48% of Bradfield residents were born overseas (NSW: 34%), with significant communities speaking Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Hindi and Persian.
September 2024 update: Proposed new electoral boundaries for Bradfield have been published by the AEC and this map will be revised when the redistribution is finalised in October.
