- Electoral division of Launceston
The Electoral Division of Launceston was a former electoral division in the Tasmanian Legislative Council. It was abolished in 1999 after a redistribution tribunal established new borders for Legislative Council divisions.
The division of Launceston used to include the Launceston city council suburbs of West Launceston, Summerhill, Kings Meadows, Prospect, Glen Dhu, Norwood and Youngtown. It also included the Meander Valley council areas of Prospect Vale and Blackstone Heights. Its southern border was shared with present day Launceston city council, its northern the South Esk River and Bathurst Street in the central business district. Its western border was Lake Trevallyn.
Most of the electorate was merged with the northern area of Macquarie to create the Electoral division of Paterson. The suburbs of West Launceston, Trevallyn were merged with the existing Cornwall to create the Rosevears. A small area became part of Windermere.
At the time of its abolition the electorate had 18,075 voters [http://www.lcredistribution.tas.gov.au/pages/backcurr.html]
