Overview
- Independent commissioners propose abolishing Stretton in Brisbane’s south and Hill in north Queensland, with 48 districts to see moderate or significant boundary changes and about 19 to be renamed.
- Hill would be absorbed into Hinchinbrook, Mulgrave and a renamed Traeger, while Stretton would be divided between Toohey (to be renamed Eight Mile Plains), Algester and parts moved into Miller (to be renamed Annerley).
- Two new south‑east seats are proposed: Caboolture, centred on the Moreton Bay growth corridor, and Springfield, relieving pressure across the Logan–Ipswich area.
- Public submissions close April 9, the Queensland Redistribution Commission aims to finalise the map in June, and the new boundaries would apply from the 2028 state election.
- Labor and Katter’s Australian Party criticised the draft and questioned the process, while published analyses suggest the LNP could gain two to three seats on the notional map, including a likely shift of Gaven to marginal LNP and Caboolture as competitive.
