  • Reason: Voters from polling district RC reported that they found it difficult to find the previous station at Lakeside Hall.

Monkton

Polling district SC

  • Changes: The polling place will return to a Portable Station on Hautmont Road / Penrith Road.
  • Reason: The previous location (Marquee in the car park of the Lord Nelson Public House) was not suitable as a polling place or for the residents of this polling district.

No changes were proposed to any polling district boundaries or to any places and stations not listed above; this is due to high satisfaction levels and continued availability of the polling places.
