DIVISION OF DICKSON

The 'Division of Dickson' is an Australian Electoral Division in Queensland. The division was formed in 1992 (1993 - First Election) and is named after Sir James Dickson, a leading advocate in Australian Federation, Queensland Premier and Minister for Defence in first Australian Ministry. It is located in the outer north-western suburbs of Brisbane, including Albany Creek, Ferny Grove, Kallangur and Strathpine. The 2006 resdistribution added Esk Shire to and removed part of Kallangur from the district. It has historically been a marginal seat, changing hands between the Australian Labor Party and the Liberal Party.
