Geography

Kew from its northern boundary.

The boundaries of the Victorian electoral districts and regions, including Kew, are determined by the independent and impartial Electoral Boundaries Commission. Redivisions typically occur when there have been two state elections since the last redivision.[2]

As of the 2022 Victorian state election, Kew follows the Yarra River along the north and west, follows Winfield Rd, Evelina St, Kerry Pde, Barloa Rd, and York St on the east, and follows Mont Albert Rd and Barkers Rd with the boundary extending down into Canterbury Rd between Balwyn Rd and Burke Rd on the south.[3]

In the boundary redistribution for the 2022 Victorian state election, Kew gained 6,514 voters from the Box Hill district.[1]

The seat is located almost entirely within the federal seat of Kooyong.

History

See also: Kew, Victoria § History

The seat was created in 1927 and has generally been a safe seat for the Liberal Party and its predecessors. The most notable former member is Dick Hamer, who was Premier of Victoria from 1972 until 1981. From 1927 to 1981, it was held by only three members, all of whom eventually became Deputy Premiers—Wilfrid Kent Hughes, Arthur Rylah and Hamer.[citation needed]

In 1851, Nicholas Fenwick purchased 122 acres (Lot 87)[5] for four pounds and six shillings per acre and named the allotment Kew. In naming Kew, he is believed to have said "Kew in England is near Richmond, this place is near Richmond, why not call it Kew?".[6]
