The Division of Corangamite (/kəˈræŋɡəmaɪt/) is an Australian electoral division in the state of Victoria. The division was proclaimed in 1900, and was one of the original 65 divisions to be contested at the first federal election. It is named for Lake Corangamite, although the lake no longer falls within the division's boundaries.
The division was redrawn in 2021, becoming a much smaller seat due to increased population growth. It now covers 1,506 square kilometres (581 sq mi) (down from 5,441 square kilometres (2,101 sq mi)) along the Victorian coast, including the growing surf coast area, the southern suburbs of Geelong as well as rural areas to the west. Starting at Queenscliff in the east, the electorate takes in the entire Bellarine Peninsula, then runs down the surf coast as far as Bells Beach. The electorate then extends north into the Golden Plains Shire, where it includes the towns of Bannockburn, and Inverleigh.[1]
Since the 2019 federal election, the current Member for Corangamite is Libby Coker, a member of the Australian Labor Party.
