Oxley, Electoral division in Brisbane metropolitan area, Australia
Oxley is an electoral division in southwestern Brisbane, encompassing parts of several local council areas across the metropolitan region. The district covers a large area that brings together different residential communities and neighborhoods.
The division was reestablished in 1949, following an earlier district by the same name that existed from 1901 to 1934. It is named after explorer John Oxley, whose legacy continues through the region's name.
The Division of Oxley includes multiple communities where residents participate in federal elections every three years to elect their representative in Parliament.
The area is quite large and spans multiple local zones, so a map helps when exploring the different communities and neighborhoods. Information about elections and local governance can be found through council offices and public libraries in the region.
The current representative for this division is Milton Dick, who also serves as Speaker of the Australian Parliament. This dual role makes him one of the most influential figures in Australia's parliamentary system.
