Electoral district of Newcastle East

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Newcastle East was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales. It was created in 1894, when multi-member districts were abolished,[1] and the three member district of Newcastle was divided between Newcastle East, Newcastle West, Kahibah, Waratah and Wickham.[2][3] from 1894 to 1904, when it was abolished as a result of the 1903 New South Wales referendum, which required the number of members of the Legislative Assembly to be reduced from 125 to 90.[4] Newcastle East was absorbed into the district of Newcastle.[5][6][7]
