Electoral district of Ivanhoe (Victoria)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Electoral district of Ivanhoe is an electoral district of the Victorian Legislative Assembly. It is located in the north-eastern suburbs of Melbourne and is based around the suburbs of Heidelberg, Ivanhoe and Rosanna.
Formed in 1945 the seat has usually been fairly safe for the Liberal Party having only been won by Labor at its 1952 and 1982 landslides before the 1990s. However a redistribution prior to the 1992 election made the seat notionally Labor. Liberal candidate Vin Heffernan was able to win at that election, only to be one of just three sitting Liberals defeated at the 1996 election. Labor's Craig Langdon has held the seat comfortably ever since, now enjoying a safe margin of 12.5%.
