Central District No. 1 (South Australian Legislative Council)
Former South Australian Legislative Council district / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Central District No. 1 was an electoral district for the South Australian Legislative Council from 1913 until 1975. It was created by the Constitution Act Further Amendment Act 1913, which divided the Central District into two districts, each to elect four members. The size of the Legislative Council was to remain at 18 until the next general election, and increase to 20 by adding a new member for each of the two new districts. From its creation until the next general election (which was held on 27 March 1915), Central District No. 1 comprised the extant Assembly districts of Adelaide and Port Adelaide. The act also redrew the Assembly electoral districts from the next election. From then, Central District No. 1 would comprise the new Assembly districts of Adelaide, North Adelaide, Port Adelaide and West Torrens.[1]
