Division of Diamond Valley

Division of Diamond Valley
Diamond Valley
Australian House of Representatives Division
Created: 1969
Abolished: 1984
Namesake: Diamond Creek

The Division of Diamond Valley was an Australian Electoral Division in Victoria. The division was created in 1969 and abolished in 1984. It was named for the Diamond Creek area. It was located in the north-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, including Doncaster, Watsonia, Eltham and Templestowe. With the expansion of the Parliament in 1984, the Division was effectively split in two, the western half forming the new Division of Jagajaga, and the eastern half the Division of Menzies.

Always held by the government of the day, the seat was marginal between the Australian Labor Party and the Liberal Party, reflected in the current situation in which Jagajaga is a Labor seat and Menzies a Liberal seat.
