1939 — State of Victoria

East Yarra (Metropolitan) Electoral Province

Legislative Council Electoral Map

This official 1939 electoral map of the East Yarra (Metropolitan) Electoral Province was prepared and issued by the Department of Crown Lands and Survey, documenting Legislative Council boundaries across Melbourne’s inner-eastern suburbs during the late interwar period.

East Yarra encompassed some of Victoria’s most established and politically active metropolitan districts—areas shaped by early suburbanisation, tram and rail corridors, and a dense civic fabric. Produced as a working government document, the map emphasises clarity, accuracy, and administrative purpose, qualities that now give it lasting historical and visual authority.

🗳️ What the Map Shows

Detailed inner-eastern suburban layout and locality naming
Clear boundary delineation at large working scale

📜 Historical Context

Issued in 1939, this map captures Melbourne’s electoral geography immediately before World War II and prior to the major post-war redistributions that reshaped metropolitan Victoria. It preserves a precise pre-war snapshot of inner-metropolitan political representation, making it a valuable reference for understanding Melbourne’s civic and electoral evolution.
