The electoral district of Croydon is an electoral district of the Victorian Legislative Assembly, located in the east of Melbourne. It was created in the redistribution of electoral boundaries in 2013, and came into effect at the 2014 state election.[1]
It largely covers the area of the abolished district of Kilsyth, covering outer eastern suburbs in Melbourne. As of the 2022 Victorian state election, the seat contains the suburbs of Croydon, Croydon Hills, Croydon North, Croydon South, Mooroolbark, Kilsyth, Kilsyth South and Bayswater North[2] in the local government areas of Maroondah City and Yarra Ranges Shire.
The abolished seat of Kilsyth was held by Liberal MP David Hodgett, who retained the new seat at the 2014 election.
