Profile
75 km² electorate based on Guildford and Midland along with suburbs in the lower rises of the Darling Range. Includes the suburbs of Hazelmere, Midvale, Stratton, Jane Brook, Swan View, Bellevue, Greenmount, Koongamia, Helena Valley, Boya and parts of Darlington and Gooseberry Hill.
History
Midland replaced the old marginal Liberal electorate of Helena in the 1996 redistribution, a Labor majority having been created by the transfer of some of the best Labor voting booths from the electorate of Swan Hills. As a result, the sitting Liberal MP for Helena, Rhonda Parker, moved to contest the seat of Ballajura. Midland was then won by another redistribution refugee in Michelle Roberts, who moved across the city from the abolished electorate of Glendalough. There was a 9.2% swing to Labor in Midland at the 2001 election.
