Mango Hill now split between electorates Bancroft and Murrumba

The Mango Hill Progress Association will, from the next State Election, have two members of the Qld Legislature to make representations to on local issues.

The southern and eastern communities of Mango Hill (Halpine Lake, Capestone and the Mango Hill Estate will remain in the modified electorate of Murrumba, to be contested by Steven Miles MP, whilst The Mango Hill Village will move into the new electorate of Bancroft, to be contested by Chris Whiting MP, joining up with North Lakes residents and north to the Caboolture River and including the suburbs of Burpengary & Morayfield, east of the Bruce Highway.

Formed out of the burgeoning seat of Murrumba, the new Electorate of Bancroft is named after Mr Joseph Bancroft, a well-known Doctor who lived in Deception Bay towards the end of the 1800’s.

Dual Polling Booth Sought for Mango Hill

The Mango Hill Progress Association has written to the Electoral Commission of Qld to advocate for a Dual Polling Booth for the Mango Hill Community Centre given that a great number of residents from south and east of Anzac Ave (including Griffin) have voted at the Mango Hill Community Centre since it was established in 1990.

A Dual Polling Booth will allow electors from both Bancroft and Murrumba the opportunity to vote at a centre they have known for many years, while avoiding the frustration and delay of standing in line to lodge an Absentee Vote or being directed to another Polling Booth.
