Geography
Western Victoria. Werribee covers the suburbs of Werribee, Werribee South and Wyndham Vale, and areas to the west of Werribee. The entire electorate lies in Wyndham City.
History
Werribee previously existed as an electorate from 1976 to 2002.
Werribee was won in 1976 by Liberal candidate Neville Hudson, but he lost in 1979 to the ALP’s Ken Coghill.
Coghill held Werribee from 1979 to 1996, and served as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly from 1988 to 1992.
Labor’s Mary Gillett won Werribee in 1996, and was re-elected in 1999.
In 2002, Werribee was replaced by Tarneit, and Gillett was re-elected in the newly named seat.
Tarneit was won in 2006 by Labor candidate Tim Pallas, and he was re-elected in 2010.
Werribee was restored in 2014, and Pallas shifted to the restored seat, winning re-election comfortably.
