The proposed Redistribution of Legislative Assembly Electoral Boundaries was released yesterday by the Redistribution Committee.
The Committee, consisting of the Electoral Commissioner, the Auditor-General and the Surveyor-General, has proposed changes to divisions that include the following:
• Alice Springs Town will consist of two urban divisions – Braitling and Greatorex.
• Large components of the current divisions of Araluen and Stuart (and part of the current division of Braitling) are merged into one division comprising a mix of urban, remote and rural areas (proposed name Battarbee).
• A new division (proposed name Spillett) is created in Palmerston that also includes surrounding areas.
• Nhulunbuy and Wanguri are renamed due to boundary adjustments (Milirrpum and Somerville respectively).
The report and maps on the proposed boundaries are available online at www.ntec.nt.gov.au and at NTEC offices in Darwin and Alice Springs.
Objections on the proposed boundaries are now invited for consideration by the Augmented Redistribution Committee. Objections must be lodged by close of business
