Jagajaga, Electoral division in Victoria, Australia
Jagajaga is an electoral division in northern Victoria that includes suburbs like Eltham, Greensborough, and Diamond Creek. It comprises four Legislative Assembly Districts and holds over 113,000 registered voters.
It was created in 1984, replacing the western portion of the abolished Diamond Valley division while the eastern section became Menzies. This redistribution reflected population changes across the Melbourne region.
The name comes from three Wurundjeri Aboriginal elders involved in an 1835 land agreement with John Batman for Port Phillip Bay. These names shape the area's identity and honor its first inhabitants.
The area is accessible through suburban trains and bus services connecting the communities. It helps to check local events or holidays beforehand, as conditions and traffic vary throughout the year.
Several major military and medical facilities operate within its boundaries, including the Australian Army's Simpson Barracks and the Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital. These institutions significantly shape the daily life and infrastructure of the area.
