Eastern Metropolitan Region

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eastern Metropolitan Region is one of the eight electoral regions in Victoria's Legislative Council (also referred to as the Upper House) in the state of Victoria, Australia. The region was created by the 2005 reform of the Victorian Legislative Council.

The region extends from Melbourne's inner eastern suburbs of Bulleen and Doncaster, north across the Yarra River to Lower Plenty and Eltham, and across to Bayswater, Croydon and Ferntree Gully (in the Dandenong Ranges) in the east below the Dandenong Ranges. The most southerly suburb is Rowville. It comprises the Legislative Assembly districts of Bayswater, Box Hill, Bulleen, Doncaster, Eltham, Ferntree Gully, Forest Hill, Kilsyth, Mitcham, Scoresby and Warrandyte.

The current Eastern Metropolitan Region elected members at the 2010 state election. The Liberal Party won three seats, while the Australian Labor Party won two seats.
