Section 15 Notice

Pursuant to Section 15 of the Legislative Council Electoral Boundaries Act 1995 we, the Redistribution Committee, give notice of, and invite public attention to, our initial redistribution proposal for the redistribution of the State into 15 electoral divisions.

Maps showing names and boundaries of proposed divisions, together with copies of the reasons for the initial redistribution proposal and descriptions of proposed boundaries are exhibited at our public offices, where they are also available for perusal and supply. Information is also available on our website.

For the purposes of this redistribution the Secretariat of the Redistribution Committee, the Tasmanian Electoral Office, all Service Tasmania shopfronts and the office of the City of Devonport (temporarily) have all been designated as public offices.

Within the period of 28 days after this publication, a person or organisation may lodge with the Redistribution Tribunal a written comment, suggestion or objection in relation to the Initial Redistribution Proposal.

Where practicable, the Redistribution Secretariat will make computer software and a trained operator available in Hobart during the period for comments, suggestions and objections, to assist those wishing to make written submissions. Appointments may be made through the Secretary.

David Farrell — Chairperson of the Redistribution Committee
