Geography
Inner-eastern Perth. Victoria Park covers the suburbs of Bentley, Burswood, Carlisle, East Victoria Park, Lathlain, St James, Victoria Park and part of Welshpool, Kensington and Wilson. The seat covers the entire Victoria Park council area and northern parts of the Canning council area.
Redistribution
Victoria Park expanded north to take in the Burswood peninsula from Belmont, which was the only part of the Victoria Park council area previously not in the council.
History
Victoria Park has existed since 1930. The seat was held by an independent for eight years from 1945, but apart from this period the seat has been held by the Labor Party.
Ron Davies won Victoria Park at the 1961 by-election. He served as a minister in the Tonkin government from 1971 to 1974.
In 1978, Davies became Leader of the Opposition, serving in the role until 1981, when he was succeeded by Brian Burke, who led the ALP back to power in 1983. Davies retired in 1986.
The 1986 by-election was won by Geoff Gallop. Gallop joined the Lawrence ministry in 1990, serving as a minister until the government’s defeat in 1993.
In 1996, Gallop became Leader of the Opposition. He led the ALP to victory in 2001, and then won a second term as Premier in 2005. He resigned in 2006.
The 2006 by-election was won by Ben Wyatt. Wyatt was re-elected three times, and has served as treasurer from 2017 until 2021.
Wyatt retired in 2021, and Labor candidate Hannah Beazley won Victoria Park with ease.
