Baulkham Hills was a 41 km² electorate in Sydney's north-west, taking in the suburbs of Baulkham Hills, Bella Vista and parts of Carlingford, Castle Hill, Kellyville, North Rocks and West Pennant Hills. [2] [3] [4]

The Baulkham Hills electorate was first created in 1991, replacing the short-lived electorate of Carlingford (1988–1991). As with its predecessor, it covers a series of wealthy and largely conservative suburbs. As a result of a redistribution in 2021, Baulkham Hills was abolished at the 2023 election; its territory split between Castle Hill, Epping and Kellyville. [5]
