Baldivis is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia. It is located in Perth's southern suburbs, and named after the suburb of Baldivis.

Contents

Baldivis was created by the Western Australian Electoral Commission in a 2015 redistribution, and elected its first member at the 2017 state election. It incorporated areas that previously fell into the seats of Kwinana and Warnbro. Baldivis was estimated to have a notional 6.4-point majority for the Labor Party (based on the results of the 2013 election), and was considered a safe seat for that party. [1]

Geography

At the 2021 state election, Baldivis includes parts of the suburbs of Baldivis, Cooloongup, Leda, Waikiki and Wellard. [2]

The 2023 redistribution saw Baldivis lose Leda and Wellard as well as part of its namesake suburb to the electoral districts of Kwinana and Darling Range while gaining Warnbro and a part of Karnup from Warnbro, leading to the latter electorate requiring a name change.
