IPSWICH is on the brink of a major political shake-up, with population growth pushing all four of the city’s state electorates beyond legal size limits and triggering a boundary overhaul.

New figures from the Queensland Redistribution Commission show that the highest growth in voter numbers was in the electorates of Jordan and Bundamba.

Both are well over the enrolment cap years ahead of the 2032 deadline.

Jordan was 20.69 percent above the state average and Bundamba was 16.88 percent.

If nothing changes, by June 2032 Jordan will balloon to 47.26 percent over the quota, and Bundamba will hit 29.09 percent.

Ipswich West and Ipswich aren’t far behind and are also forecast to exceed their legal limits.

The current voter population in Ipswich West is 40,442 which is within the quota.

But by 2032, the population is expected to be 49,813, which is 11.5 percent above the average – a figure that takes it beyond quota and due for a boundary review.

The Ipswich electorate has similar figures now, but is expected to grow to 52,877 and 18.3 percent above quota by the 2032 deadline. It too, is set for a boundary review.

Under Queensland law, electoral boundaries must remain within 10 percent of the state enrolment average (quota) – both now and into the future.

“This presents a challenge,” Commission Chair Gregory Koppenol said.

“We must balance elector numbers across 93 electorates while future-proofing the boundaries as much as possible.”

In Greater Springfield, Redbank, and the booming eastern suburbs of Ipswich, the growth was so intense that the QRC may need to redraw boundaries, rename electorates, or create a new seat altogether.

The QRC has kicked off public consultation and is calling for submissions from residents, community groups, and local leaders.

Submissions are open until Tuesday, August 6.
