The final Report published by the Electoral Districts Boundaries Commission sets out its reasons for the electoral redistribution it has made.
Following the release of the draft report on 14 August 2020, the Commission received 66 submissions. A great many issues arising from the draft report were raised. The Commission considered each submission and conducted a further hearing to receive oral submissions from the major parties and other persons.
After further consideration, the Commission has now finalised its order. Extensive changes to electoral boundaries have been made. At the next State election around 220,000 electors will find themselves in a different district.
Subject to any appeal to the Supreme Court of South Australia, the new boundaries will take effect at the next State election, on 19 March 2022.
Printed copies of the final Report are available for inspection or may be purchased for $35 from the Electoral Commission SA, Level 6, 60 Light Square, Adelaide.
