The Division of Lilley is an Australian Electoral Division in Queensland. The division was first proclaimed in 1913. The division is named after Sir Charles Lilley, a former Premier of Queensland and a former Chief Justice of Queensland.

The Division of Lilley covers 140 km², which is very large for an inner-metropolitan seat, but much of this consists of Brisbane Airport, tidal wetlands around Boondall and industrial areas around Pinkenba.

[edit] Boundaries

Lilley stretches from the upper-class riverside suburbs of Ascot, Hamilton and Clayfield in the south to the bayside suburbs of Sandgate and Brighton in the north, and as far west as Chermside and Kedron.

Lilley currently covers the north-eastern part of the Brisbane City Council local government area, and includes Ascot, Banyo, Boondall, Brighton, Chermside, Clayfield, Deagon, Geebung, Gordon Park, Hamilton, Hendra, Kedron, Northgate, Nudgee, Nundah, Pinkenba, Sandgate, Shorncliffe, Taigum, Virginia, Wavell Heights, Wooloowin, and Zillmere, and parts of Albion, Aspley, and Lutwyche.

[edit] Members

Lilley is currently perceived to be fairly safe Labor territory despite the presence of very wealthy suburbs in the southern parts of the electorate. The seat has been held by conservative parties in the past.

The Division of Lilley is currently represented by Treasurer Wayne Swan.
