NSW Federal Electoral Boundaries Redrawn for 2024

The Minns Labor Government in New South Wales has established an Advisory Council to oversee the allocation of $400 million from the Regional Development Trust, emphasizing evidence-based projects that address the needs of regional communities. This council will consist of up to seven members, including at least one Aboriginal representative, and aims to enhance local governance by incorporating diverse expertise. Meanwhile, the upcoming local government elections in NSW on September 14, 2024, will see Armenian-Australians, including notable candidates like Sarkis Mouradian and Ello Meguerditchian, campaigning for recognition of Armenian Genocide and community issues. In federal electoral news, the Australian Electoral Commission's recent redistribution has abolished the North Sydney seat, affecting independent MP Kylea Tink, who will need to seek election in a different district as she faces a challenging political landscape. The redistribution reduces the total number of seats in NSW from 47 to 46 and redistributes North Sydney voters among three new divisions, potentially altering election dynamics.
