History


The area was created for the 1973 local government elections, combining the whole of the former Victoria ward with just under half of the former Pottinger ward. It was abolished for the 1985 local government elections, for which an eighth ward had been created in the area. The Bloomfield ward became part of a new Pottinger DEA, while the remaining seven wards formed the Victoria DEA.
