Electoral district of Newland
- Electoral district of Newland
Newland is an electoral district of the House of Assembly in the Australian state of South Australia. It is named after pioneer Simpson Newland, a prominent figure in nineteenth-century South Australia. It is a 30.3km² suburban electorate in north-eastern Adelaide, taking in the suburbs of Banksia Park, Highbury, Redwood Park, Ridgehaven, St Agnes, Tea Tree Gully and Vista, as well as parts of Hope Valley and Houghton.
Newland was created at the 1976 redistribution and initially tended to lean towards Labor, being held by the party for nine of its first twelve years (excepting one term between 1979 and 1982. It was one of the marginal seats that changed hands at the 1989 election, where it was won by Liberal candidate Dorothy Kotz, who developed a strong personal following in Newland and had little difficulty being re-elected at successive elections until her retirement in 2006. Upon her retirement, however, her personal vote evaporated, and this, combined with a landslide Labor victory across the state, saw Labor candidate Tom Kenyon take back the seat for Labor.
