Geography
Sunshine Coast. Ninderry covers the Sunshine Coast suburbs of Kunda Park, Bli Bli, Eumundi and Coolum Beach.
History
Ninderry was created at the 2017 election out of parts of four seats: Buderim, Maroochydore, Nicklin and Noosa. All four seats have tended to be held by the Liberal Party and then the Liberal Natonal Party, although Nicklin was held by an independent from 1998 until 2017, and Labor has won Noosa in the past.
Ninderry was created as a reasonably safe LNP seat and was won in 2017 by LNP candidate Dan Purdie.

Labor candidate Melinda Dodds got a good result here. She may have not won the seat, but it certainly turned some heads the swing she got on the night.
