The Electoral district of Belfast and Warrnambool was one of the original sixteen electoral districts[1] of the unicameral Legislative Council of the British colony of Victoria in 1851 to 1856.
The district included the towns of Belfast (renamed to Port Fairy around 1889) and Warrnambool.[1] It was abolished when the single house was replaced in 1856 by a bicameral system consisting of the Victorian Legislative Assembly (lower house) and Victorian Legislative Council (upper house, consisting of Provinces).[2]
