Queensland’s election boundaries are set for an overhaul after the Queensland Redistribution Commission (QRC) announced plans to redraw electoral boundaries.

Under the proposed changes, 48 boundary lines will be redrawn, two new seats will be added at the expense of two electorates that will be removed altogether and subsumed into neighbouring seats.
