Mundaring was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Western Australia from 1974 to 1989.
The district was located east of Perth.
First created for the 1974 state election, the district's first member was Labor's James Moiler, who had at that stage already served one term as the member for Toodyay. The district switched parties at the 1977 state election with the election of Liberal candidate Tom Herzfeld. Herzfeld served two terms in parliament before being defeated by 16 votes by Labor candidate Gavan Troy at the 1983 state election. The result was challenged in the Court of Disputed Returns and the election was declared void, but Troy won the resulting by-election by a larger margin, and went on to serve as a minister in the Burke, Dowding and Lawrence governments from 1986 until 1991.
Mundaring was abolished ahead of the 1989 state election and largely replaced by the new district of Swan Hills. Accordingly, Troy contested and won the new Swan Hills seat.

The Division of Pearce is an Australian electoral division in the state of Western Australia. It was created at the 1989 redistribution and named after George Pearce, the longest serving member of the Australian Senate, serving from 1901 to 1938. For most of its existence, Pearce was a hybrid urban-rural seat that covered Perth's outer northern suburbs before fanning inland from the Indian Ocean to take in portions of the Wheatbelt southeast, east and northeast of the capital. However, as of the 2021 redistribution, Pearce is largely coterminous with the City of Wanneroo in Perth's northern suburbs. It has had four members: Fred Chaney, Judi Moylan, Christian Porter, and Tracey Roberts. The first three were members of the Liberal Party, whereas Roberts, a former mayor of Wanneroo, is a member of the Labor Party.
