Koonung Province

Koonung Province

Koonung Province was an electorate of the Victorian Legislative Council. It existed as a two-member electorate from 1992 to 2006, with members serving alternating eight-year terms. It replaced the abolished Boronia Province. It was a safe seat for the Liberal Party of Australia for most of its history, but was won by Australian Labor Party candidate Helen Buckingham in Labor's landslide victory at the 2002 state election. The electorate was abolished from the 2006 state election in the wake of the Bracks Labor government's reform of the Legislative Council.

It was located in the outer east of Melbourne. In 2002, when it was last contested, it covered an area of 134km2 and included the suburbs of Blackburn, Boronia, Ferntree Gully, Mitcham, Nunawading, Rowville, Scoresby, Vermont and Wheelers Hill.
