North Eastern Province (Victoria)

North Eastern Province (originally North-Eastern Province) was an electorate of the Victorian Legislative Council. It was created in the redistribution of provinces in 1882 when the original provinces[1] of Central and Eastern Provinces were abolished. The new North Eastern, North Central, Melbourne East, Melbourne North, Melbourne South and Melbourne West Provinces were then created.[2]

North Eastern Province was created and defined by the Legislative Council Act 1881 (taking effect from the 1882 elections) as consisting of the following divisions: Chiltern, Rutherglen, North Ovens, Beechworth, Bright, Oxley, Benalla, Euroa, Yarrawonga, Shepparton, Mansfield, Howqua, Goulburn and Seymour .[3]

North Eastern Province was abolished at the 2006 state election in the wake of the Bracks Labor government's reform of the Legislative Council.
