Cooper, Federal electoral division in northern Melbourne, Australia.
Cooper is a federal electoral division in northern Melbourne that covers parts of several inner-city councils including Darebin, Moreland, and Yarra. The district is home to roughly 108,730 registered voters in this densely populated area.
The division was established in 2019 through a mandatory redistribution process that replaced the former Division of Batman under supervision of the Australian Electoral Commission. This boundary adjustment was part of a regular review of electoral districts across the country.
The electoral division is named after William Cooper, a Yorta Yorta leader who fought throughout his life for Aboriginal rights and parliamentary representation. His legacy continues to shape the identity of this inner-city electoral district.
The Australian Electoral Commission maintains an office serving the division where voters can access electoral services and enrolment information. This office provides guidance on voting procedures and helps with registration matters for residents.
The district is known for its strong support for the Greens party, which provides competitive opposition to the Labor party in elections. This political dynamic makes it one of the most closely contested electoral districts in the country.
