Home | Australian Electorate | Division of Sydney

The Division of Sydney is an Australian Electoral Division in the state of New South Wales. It is located around the central city area of Sydney, and includes many inner suburbs such as Darlinghurst, Surry Hills, Ultimo, Redfern, Camperdown, Glebe, Annandale, Balmain, Potts Point and the Sydney central business district itself. The Division also incorporates all the waters of Port Jackson, except for Middle Harbour and North Harbour. It also covers Lord Howe Island.

The Division was named for the city of Sydney, which itself was named after former British Home Secretary Thomas Townshend, 1st Viscount Sydney. The Division was proclaimed at the redistribution of 21 November 1968, replacing the old Division of East Sydney and Division of West Sydney, and was first contested at the 1969 election. The seat is a very safe Labor seat, although the seat had the highest amount of Green votes in any federal electorate in the 2004 election. The seat of Melbourne topped Sydney for the highest Green vote at the 2007 election.

According to the 2001 census, the electorate has by far the highest number of same-sex couples in Australia (2265).
