The Division of Corinella was an Australian Electoral Division in Victoria. The division was created in the 1990 and abolished in 1994, taking effect from the 1996 election.[1] It was named for the town of Corinella, derived from the local Aboriginal language.[2]
It was located in the outer south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne (primarily in Shire of Cranbourne) and parts of western Gippsland (primarily in Shire of Bass). It included the suburbs of Carrum Downs, Langwarrin, Cranbourne and Keysborough and the town of Wonthaggi. It replaced parts of Division of Holt and Division of Flinders when it was created. When it was abolished, it was replaced by the same two divisions, and to a smaller extent, the Division of Dunkley (Langwarrin) and the Division of Gippsland (Wonthaggi).[2]
Corinella was a marginal seat, with Labor and Liberal parties each winning the seat once during its six years of existence.[3][4]
