Members of the Victorian Legislative Council, 1882–1884
This is a list of members of the Victorian Legislative Council from the elections of 30 November 1882 to the elections of 11 September 1884.[1][2]
The Legislative Council Act 1881,[3] which took effect at the 1882 elections, created ten new provinces: Gippsland, Melbourne, Nelson, North Yarra, North-Central, North-Eastern, Northern, South Yarra, South-Eastern and Wellington, with two abolished: Central and Eastern. This resulted in a total of fourteen Provinces, each returning three members for a total of 42 members.[3]
- Note the "Term in Office" refers to that members term(s) in the Council, not necessarily for that Province.
