Electoral district of Bega
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bega is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales. It is represented by Andrew Constance of the Liberal Party of Australia.
The 2004 redistribution of electoral districts estimated that the electoral district would have 48,977 electors on 29 April 2007.[1] At the 2007 election it will encompass almost all of Bega Valley Shire, including Bega, Tathra, Merimbula and Eden, but excluding Bemboka, and all of the Eurobodalla Shire Council, including Moruya, Batemans Bay and Narooma.[2]

In 1894, single-member electorates were introduced state-wide and the two-member electorate of Eden was split into Bega and Eden-Bombala. In 1920, with the introduction of proportional representation, it was absorbed into Goulburn, along with Monaro. It was recreated in 1988.
