Division of Moore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Division of Moore is an Australian Electoral Division in the state of Western Australia. It is located in the northern suburbs of Perth, on the coast of the Indian Ocean. It stretches along the coast from Marmion in the south to Kinross in the north. It also includes the suburbs of Joondalup, Edgewater, Ocean Reef, Craigie and Sorrento.
The Division was named after George Fletcher Moore, the first Advocate-General of Western Australia. The Division was proclaimed at the redistribution of May 11, 1949, and was first contested at the 1949 Federal election. The seat is currently a safe Liberal seat.
