The Division of Brisbane is an Australian Electoral Division in Queensland. The division was created in 1901 and is named for the city of Brisbane. On its original boundaries it included all of what is now the northern part of the City of Brisbane, but successive boundary changes cut it back to the inner suburban area. It now extends from the city centre into the western suburbs, and includes the suburbs of Ashgrove , Enoggera , Kelvin Grove and Stafford . For most of its history it has been a fairly safe seat for the Australian Labor Party, but the Liberal Party won it in 1975 and 1977. It was Labor's most vulnerable seat at the 2004 election, but the sitting member, Arch Bevis, gained a substantial swing and has made the seat fairly secure.
