1939 — State of Victoria

Monash (Metropolitan) Electoral Province

Legislative Council Electoral Map

This official 1939 electoral map of the Monash (Metropolitan) Electoral Province was issued by the Department of Crown Lands and Survey as part of Victoria’s formal Legislative Council boundary mapping.

Named in honour of Sir John Monash, the province covered a significant sweep of Melbourne’s inner-to-middle suburbs at a time when metropolitan growth, transport corridors, and population density were reshaping political representation. Produced as a working government document, the map prioritises clarity, accuracy, and administrative purpose, qualities that now make it a valuable historical artefact.


🗳️ What the Map Shows

  • Legislative Council boundaries for the Monash (Metropolitan) Electoral Province

  • Suburban structure and locality layout of metropolitan Melbourne

  • Clean boundary delineation at large working scale

  • Restrained, survey-grade government cartography typical of the late interwar period


📜 Historical Context

Published in 1939, this map captures Melbourne’s electoral geography immediately prior to World War II—before the sweeping post-war suburban expansion and redistribution that would redefine Victorian politics. It provides a precise snapshot of pre-war metropolitan representation, widely used today for electoral, urban, and planning history.
