ranged from 17 square kilometres to 570,502 square kilometres. Following the redistribution, the variation in electorate size ranges from 12 square kilometres to 459,681 square kilometres. To address the change in electorate size and geography, the Tribunal has determined to establish an additional band of electorates which sit below 100,000 square kilometres but still cover a large area and multiple population centres. The Tribunal has also adjusted the limits of the bands. The current band limits are listed below in figure 3.2.
