Electoral district of Ferntree Gully
- Electoral district of Ferntree Gully
The Electoral district of Ferntree Gully is an electorate of the Victorian Legislative Assembly. It was created in 2002 as a replacement for the abolished electorate of Knox.
The seat is based around Ferntree Gully and its neighbouring suburbs at the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges.
When it was created, it had a notional Liberal majority of 7.6% suggesting it would usually be a fairly safe Liberal seat. However the Labor Party's Anne Eckstein won the seat at the 2002 election on the back of the Labor landslide. However, at the following election in 2006, Eckstein lost Ferntree Gully to Liberal Nick Wakeling in a very close contest for the seat. The final result revealed a margin of 27 votes, or 0.04%.
