Geography
North-eastern Adelaide. Newland covers the suburbs of Banksia Park, Fairview Park, Hope Valley, Modbury, Paracombe, Ridgehaven, St Agnes and Tea Tree Gully, and parts of Modbury North.
History
Newland has existed as an electorate since since the 1977 election, and has alternated between Labor and Liberal members.
John Klunder won the seat for the ALP in 1977. He lost to the Liberal Party’s Brian Billard in 1979, and won the seat back in 1982. In 1985, he shifted to the seat of Todd, which he held until 1993.
Dianne Gayler won Newland for the ALP in 1985, and held it for one term until 1989, when she lost to the Liberal Party’s Dorothy Kotz.
Kotz was the first Member for Newland to serve consecutive terms in the seat, and ended up serving four terms. Kotz served as a minister in the Liberal governments of the 1990s, and retired in 2006.
In 2006, a 12.5% swing to the ALP saw Tom Kenyon gain the seat. He was re-elected in 2010 and 2014 despite swings to the Liberal Party at both elections.
The electorate was redrawn prior to the 2018 election to be a notional Liberal seat with a very slim margin. Kenyon was defeated in 2018 by Liberal candidate Richard Harvey.
The redistribution prior to the 2022 election shifted parts of Florey into Newland, and sitting Florey independent MP Frances Bedford decided to run for Newland. Bedford had represented the area since 1997, as a Labor MP until 2018 and then as an independent.
Newland was won in 2022 by Labor’s Olivia Savvas, with Bedford coming third and Liberal MP Richard Harvey coming second.
