Members of the Tasmanian Legislative Council, 1945–1951


This is a list of members of the Tasmanian Legislative Council between 1945 and 1951. Terms of the Legislative Council did not coincide with Legislative Assembly elections, and members served six year terms, with a number of members facing election each year.
A major redistribution in 1946 resulted in the multi-member divisions of Hobart and Launceston being split up—the old divisions remained as single-member divisions, whilst Hobart spawned Newdegate and Queenborough, and Launceston spawned Cornwall. A new division of West Devon was created from rural areas of Mersey, whilst Cambridge combined with parts of Macquarie to form the new Monmouth.
