Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><DIV STYLE="font-size:12pt"><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>The local government divisions layer is the spatial representation of the recommendation of the Local Government Change Commission during the 2023 review of divided Local Government Areas. Divisional boundaries were realigned to ensure, as best as possible, that each division contains "a reasonable proportion of electors" (the quota) at the 2024 quadrennial local government elections. Final divisional boundaries were created with input from the general public obtained through public submissions during public consultation of the review.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>Final divisional boundaries were created by aggregating Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1) polygons while satisfying the requirement for divisions to have "a reasonable proportion of electors" now, and at the 2024 elections, and taking into consideration features such as transport infrastructure, natural features, and cadastral and suburb boundaries. Final divisional boundaries were aligned to significant, named features where possible. Where practicable, the Change Commission sought to reunite previously split localities and SA1s, to create administrative and operational efficiencies in electoral roll administration.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>Final divisions were populated with current and projected elector counts (on 9 March 2023 and 31 March 2028 respectively), as well as percent elector deviation from the average elector count at each date. Revised divisional boundaries will come into effect upon the conclusion of the March 2024 local government elections.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>Current and projected elector data was obtained from the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) and the Queensland Government Statisticians Office (QGSO) respectively.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>The following divided councils were reviewed in 2023 and had changes implemented to their divisional boundaries: Bundaberg Regional Council, Fraser Coast Regional Council and Isaac Regional Council. Tablelands Regional Council was reviewed but there was no change to the existing divisional boundaries. For Tablelands Regional Council and other divided Councils that were not reviewed in 2023, alignment variations may exist between the 2020 and 2024 boundaries due to accuracy upgrades to the spatial cadastre, to which the divisional boundaries are aligned.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV>
