Electoral district of Schubert
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox Australian electorate
Schubert is a single-member electoral district for the South Australian House of Assembly covering an area of 2,017.8 km2. It is named after Max Schubert, the winemaker of Penfolds Grange Hermitage. The Barossa Valley area was first represented by the seat of Barossa. The seat of Custance was abolished and recreated as Schubert in the 1994 redistribution and first contested at the 1997 election. Schubert incorporates all of the Barossa Council, and is made up of portions of the Adelaide Hills Council, City of Playford, City of Tea Tree Gully, Light Regional Council, and Mid Murray Council. Areas covered include Eden Valley, Kersbrook, Nuriootpa, Lyndoch, Springton, Tanunda, and Williamstown.
2020 Boundary redistribution
Following the 2020 redistribution Schubert underwent major boundary changes. The western end of the electorate including Freeling, Roseworthy and Wasleys were transferred to Frome. But the major changes were south where Schubert gained parts of the Adelaide Hills that were previously in Newland and Morialta. Schubert now stretches as far south as Paracombe, Cudlee Creek and Mount Torrens.
The key changes were the following:
Schubert gained the localities of Bibaringa, Birdwood, Chain of Ponds, Cromer, Cudlee Creek, Ebenezer, Forreston, Gumeracha, Houghton, Humbug Scrub, Inglewood, Kenton Valley, Kersbrook, Koonunga, Lower Hermitage, Kenton Valley, Millbrook, Moppa, Mount Torrens, Paracombe, Sampson Flat, St Johns, St Kitts, Truro, Uleybury, Upper Hermitage, and Yattalunga.
It lost a portion of Adelaide Plains Council (which includes the localities of Fischer and Lewiston and a portion of the locality of Reeves Plains) and a portion of Light Regional Council (which includes the localities of Freeling, Kangaroo Flat and Roseworthy). It also lost the localities of Gawler Belt, Gawler River and Ward Belt, and the remainder of the localities of Hamley Bridge and Reeves Plains.
