Electoral district of The Hills

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Former state electoral district of New South Wales, Australia

The Hills was anelectoral district of theLegislative Assembly in theAustralian state ofNew South Wales from 1962 to 2007. It was a 51.08 km² urban electorate inSydney's north-west, taking in the suburbs ofCarlingford,Castle Hill,Cherrybrook,Glenhaven,Kellyville,Pennant Hills andWest Pennant Hills. There were 44,961 electors enrolled in the district at the1999 state election.

The Hills electorate was first contested in 1962. It was created from the northern part ofBlacktown, a southern part ofHornsby and the northern part ofEastwood,^[1] in theLiberals' traditional heartland of northern Sydney, and as such was a comfortably safe Liberal seat, tending to have long-serving members throughout its history, only having seen four members in more than forty years.Max Ruddock held the seat from 1962 until his death in 1976, and was replaced by local mayorFred Caterson, who won more than 70% of the vote in the subsequent by-election. Caterson suffered a large swing in the "Wranslide" of1978, but even then managed to win an outright majority on the first count. It was one of only two times that the Liberals were seriously threatened in this seat. In 1962, Ruddock was nearly defeated by an independent Liberal when the seat was first contested.^[2]^[3]^[4]

The seat reverted to form, and Caterson held it comfortably until 1990, when he retired and was replaced by used car dealerTony Packard. In contrast to his predecessors, Packard only lasted three years, and resigned amidst scandal in 1993.^[5]^[6] Although there was some speculation that the Liberal Party would lose the ensuing 1993 by-election, Liberal candidateMichael Richardson won easily and was handily returned in the next three elections.

The district was abolished from the2007 state election as a result of the 2004 electoral redistribution. Richardson followed most of the electorate to the new electorate ofCastle Hill, with the remaining territory being split betweenHawkesbury,Hornsby andEpping.
