Boundaries

On its original boundaries, Brisbane included all of what is now the northern part of the City of Brisbane, but successive boundary changes cut it back to the inner suburban area.

It now extends from the city centre into the western suburbs, and includes Alderley, Ashgrove, Bowen Hills, Brisbane City, Enoggera, Ferny Grove, Fortitude Valley, Gaythorne, Grange, Herston, Kelvin Grove, Keperra, Milton, Mitchelton, New Farm, Newmarket, Newstead, Red Hill, Spring Hill, Upper Kedron, Wilston, and Windsor, and parts of Bardon, Everton Park, Paddington, and Stafford.

In the 2009 Electoral Boundaries redistribution announced by the Australian Electoral Commission the seat of Brisbane also includes the suburbs of Hendra, Ascot and Hamilton.
