Electoral district of Bellarine
- Electoral district of Bellarine
The Electoral district of Bellarine is an electoral district of the Victorian Legislative Assembly. The electorate contains some of the eastern suburbs of Geelong and much of the Bellarine Peninsula after which the electorate is named.
The seat was first created in a redistribution prior to the 1967 election but was abolished and replaced by Geelong East and South Barwon in 1976. It was revived prior to the 1985 election after Geelong East was itself abolished and population increases in South Barwon moved that electorate westwards.
It has traditionally been a marginal seat. Graham Ernst of the Labor Party won the seat in the 1985 and 1988 elections but was defeated at the 1992 election by the Liberal Party's Garry Spry who held the seat until his retirement in 2002. At the election in November of that year it was one of many seats to fall to the Labor Party.
Lisa Neville is the current member. She holds the seat with a margin of 7.95%.
