Last updated

Members of the New South Wales Legislative Council who served between April 1934 and April 1937 were elected in 1933 or at a by-election. Prior to 1934 members had been appointed for life by the Governor on the advice of the Executive Council.

Being the first election, the members were elected in four groups of 15 members, for terms ending in 1937, 1940, 1943 and 1946. [1] [2] [3] The President was Sir John Peden. [4] </ref>
