Incumbent MP
Matt Keogh, since 2016.
Geography
South of Perth. Burt covers parts of Armadale and Gosnells council areas and a small part of the Serpentine-Jarrahdale council area, Burt includes the suburbs of Armadale, Darling Downs, Gosnells, Huntingdale, Kenwick, Oakford, Thornlie and Westfield.
Redistribution
Burt shifted south, taking in Darling Downs and Oakford from Canning, losing Orange Grove and part of Kelmscott to the new seat of Bullwinkel, and also lost Beckenham and Langford to Swan. These changes cut the Labor margin from 15.2% to 13.3%.
History
Burt was first created in 2016, primarily out of parts of Canning. That seat had been a marginal seat, leaning towards the Liberal Party.
Labor’s Matt Keogh lost the 2015 Canning by-election to Liberal candidate Andrew Hastie. He then went on to win Burt at the 2016 election. Keogh was re-elected in 2019 and 2022.
