Western Metropolitan Region

Western Metropolitan Region is one of the eight electoral regions in the state of Victoria, Australia, which elects five members to the Victorian Legislative Council (also referred to as the Upper House) by proportional representation. The region was created in 2006 by the 2005 reform of the Victorian Legislative Council.

It comprises the Legislative Assembly districts of Altona, Essendon, Footscray, Kororoit, Niddrie, St Albans, Sunbury, Sydenham, Tarneit, Werribee and Williamstown.

The current Western Metropolitan Region elected members at the 2014 state election. The Australian Labor Party won two seats, while the Liberal Party, Greens and Democratic Labor Party won one seat each.
