Electoral district of Kavel
- Electoral district of Kavel
Kavel, created in 1969, is an electorate for the South Australian Legislative Assembly in the Adelaide Hills region of South Australia.
Kavel is named after Lutheran pastor August Kavel who migrated to South Australia from Germany in 1838 (two years after the colony was founded) with approximately 250 people seeking freedom from religious persecution. They and later German immigrants and their descendants have made a significant contribution to South Australia's development and culture.
The demography of Kavel is a mixture of commuters to Adelaide who enjoy the country lifestyle, and farmers and other rural activities. It is the first predominantly rural electorate east of Adelaide, the main population centres of the electorate include Hahndorf, Balhannah, Mount Barker, Lobethal and Nairne. The last redistribution saw northern end of the electorate trimmed, with Gumeracha, Birdwood and Mount Torrens transferred into Schubert.
The strong Family First Party vote in the 2006 election (the highest in the state) was due in part to their prominent local candidate, church minister Tom Playford, son of former Premier Sir Thomas Playford. Tom Playford ran as an independent in the 2002 election, finishing on a primary vote of 19.4%.
