Broad: Growth exciting

Member for Mallee Andrew Broad has told Federal Parliament he is excited to see the electorate of Mallee grow under latest Australian Electoral Commission redistributions.

The redistribution boundary changes means Pyrenees, Loddon and Central Goldfields municipalities will join his electorate, while Stawell and Halls Gap sections of Northern Grampians change from Mallee to Wannon.

Mallee, the largest federal electorate in Victoria, is now spread across 12 municipalities and geographically represents about a third of the state.

“I am pleased that I get to represent even more people across the great state of Victoria,” Mr Broad said.

“We will work very hard for the people of Maryborough, Avoca, Pyramid Hill, Boort, Wedderburn, Bridgewater, Inglewood and Serpentine.

“I am very pleased to announce that this gives me capacity to place a third satellite office in Maryborough so that the community has better access to myself and my staff.

“I do a lot of travel around the electorate, and with my farm now back in the Mallee I will have quick access to my ute and will certainly be down to say g’day to our new communities and shires to see what I can do for them.”

Mr Broad said there were many things to fight for across the electorate of Mallee and he would continue to do his best to represent the people across Wimmera, Mallee and Mildura regions.
