The City of Brisbane’s electoral boundaries were redrawn following the 2016 election. These changes were relatively mild since it had only been four years since the previous redistribution.
About 8% of the city’s population has been shifted to a different ward, and one ward has flipped from one party to another. The ward of Doboy has shifted from a 4.3% LNP margin to a 0.3% Labor margin.
This table shows how these boundaries change the margins in the Brisbane City Council wards.
