Geelong Province

Geelong Province was an electorate of the Victorian Legislative Council[1] until 2006, located around Geelong. It was abolished from the 2006 state election in the wake of the Bracks Labor government's reform of the Legislative Council. The area of the former Geelong Province then became part of the larger Western Victoria Region.[2]

For the electorate of the unicameral Victorian Legislative Council of 1851–1856, see Electoral district of Geelong (Victorian Legislative Council).
