At Northside Community Voices, we are trying to ensure that the state government politicians elected to serve in the electorates that fall mainly within the City of Moreton Bay recognise that their prime responsibility is to serve the interests of their community, rather than those of political parties, or business, union or industry interests.Â

State electorates
Redistribution
In April 2025, the Queensland Redistribution Commission (QRC) was constituted under the Electoral Act 1992 by the following Commissioners to undertake an electoral redistribution of the State into 93 electoral districts. This process is reaching its final stage and the information below summarises the expected makeup of state electorates in the Northside area/CoMB.
Changes affecting City of Moreton Bay
The creation of the new district of Caboolture in this region has enabled the Commission to reduce the number of electors in the surrounding districts, bringing the district of Murrumba back into quota. The new district, situated west of the Bruce Highway, includes the central portion of the Caboolture locality, and expands west with the D’Aguilar Highway as its core transport spine. Pumicestone and Deception Bay (formerly Bancroft) have shifted east, strengthening their character as districts shaped around the area’s northern coastal communities.
The Commission notes this region is expected to continue to experience strong growth in the coming years. The proposed district of Morayfield is one of 5 districts expected to exceed the quota by 2032 on account of significant ongoing development.
NCV’s main focus is upon the 8 districts that have now been named in the Moreton Bay area: Pine Rivers, Kurwongbah, Murrumba, Redcliffe, Deception Bay, (formerly Bancroft) Morayfield, Pumicestone and Caboolture (new).
On the southern edge of our area, some CoMB suburbs have now been included in other state electorates, including – Jollys Lookout (Ashgrove) Ferny Hills and Arana Hills (Ferny Grove) and Everton Hills (Everton).
