Molonglo electorate

Molonglo was created in 1995, when the three-electorate, Hare-Clark electoral system was first introduced for the Australian Capital Territory (ACT).

The name "Molonglo" is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning "like the sound of thunder".

[1] The Molonglo electorate consisted of the town centres of North Canberra, South Canberra, Weston Creek, and Woden (except for the suburbs of Chifley, Pearce and Torrens), and Gungahlin (except for the suburb of Nicholls).

It also includes the parts of the ACT to the north and east of Canberra.

Molonglo was abolished in 2016, with its constituents transferred between each of three new electorates: Kurrajong, and parts of Murrumbidgee and Yerrabi.
