Division of Diamond Valley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Diamond Valley Australian House of Representatives Division
State or territory:	Victoria
Created:	1969
Abolished:	1984
Namesake:	Diamond Creek

The Division of Diamond Valley was an Australian Electoral Division in Victoria. The division was created in 1969 and abolished in 1984. It was named for the Diamond Creek area. It was located in the north-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, including Doncaster, Watsonia, Eltham and Templestowe. With the expansion of the Parliament in 1984, the Division was effectively split in two, the western half forming the new Division of Jagajaga, and the eastern half the Division of Menzies.

The seat was marginal between the Australian Labor Party and the Liberal Party, reflected in the current situation in which Jagajaga is a Labor seat and Menzies a fairly safe Liberal seat.
