Maryborough is an
electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Queensland
.
The district is centred on the regional city of Maryborough and takes in other surrounding communities.
History
In 1864, the Additional Members Act created six additional electoral districts, each returning 1 member:
- Clermont
- Kennedy
- Maryborough
- Mitchell
- Rockhampton
- Warrego
The first elections in these six electorates were held in 1865 (that is, during a parliamentary term and not as part of a general election across Queensland). The nomination date for the election in Maryborough was 30 January 1865 and the election was held on 1 February 1865.[1]
Between 1878 and 1912, the district elected two members, and then returned only a single member to the present time (2014).[2]
