South Yarra Province was an electorate of the Victorian Legislative Council[1] from November 1882 until May 1904.[1]
South Yarra Province was created in the redistribution of provinces in 1882 when the Central and Eastern Provinces were abolished. The new South Yarra, North Yarra, North Central, South Eastern and Melbourne Provinces were then created.[1]
The Legislative Council Act, 1881, created and defined the South Yarra Province as:
Commencing at a point on the Yarra river at Princes Bridge; thence south-easterly by the
Port Phillip Bay and Hobson's Bay and northerly by the Yarra river to the south boundary of the township of Footscray; thence east and north by the south and part of the east boundaries of that township to the Yarra river aforesaid; thence easterly by that river to the commencing point.[2]
South Yarra Province was abolished in another redistribution of Provinces in 1904; new provinces including East Yarra, Melbourne East Province, Melbourne North Province, Melbourne South Province and Melbourne West Provinces were created.[1]
