History

[edit]

In the first Parliament of the New South Wales colony, 1856–57, there was a four-member electoral district calledSydney City with voters casting four votes, and the four leading candidates being elected. In1859, it was replaced by the four-member districts ofEast Sydney andWest Sydney. In1894, the three four-member districts ofEast Sydney,West Sydney andSouth Sydney (created in1880) were replaced by eleven single-member districts with "Sydney" in their title:Sydney-Belmore,Sydney-Bligh,Sydney-Cook,Sydney-Denison,Sydney-Fitzroy,Sydney-Flinders,Sydney-Gipps,Sydney-King,Sydney-Lang,Sydney-Phillip andSydney-Pyrmont. From1904, these electorates were renamed or abolished.

In1920, the inner-city electoral districts ofBelmore,Darlinghurst,King,Paddington,Phillip andSurry Hills were combined to create a new incarnation of Sydney, which elected five members byproportional representation. This was replaced by the single member electorates ofKing,Paddington,Phillip andSurry Hills for the1927 election. Central Sydney subsequently fell within a number of successive electorates, includingElizabeth andPort Jackson.

Sydney was recreated for the2007 election, replacing abolished districtBligh and also taking in theSydney CBD andPyrmont that were previously inPort Jackson (the remainder of Port Jackson became theElectoral district of Balmain).

From 1920 to 1927 the district includedLord Howe Island, which was transferred from and to the electorate of King.[1] As part of the redistribution of electoral districts for the2023 state election, a proposal was received to move Lord Howe Island back into the electorate of Sydney.[2] However, theNSW Electoral Commission eventually decided to retain the island within the electorate ofPort Macquarie, which has included the island since 1991.[3]
