The electorate of Sturt is a vibrant, welcoming, and diverse community where families, schools, businesses, volunteers, and multicultural groups work together to create a supportive and thriving place to live. Home to more than 130,000 enrolled voters, Sturt encompasses the entirety of the Campbelltown City Council and the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters, as well as parts of the Adelaide Hills Council, City of Burnside, City of Port Adelaide Enfield, City of Tea Tree Gully, and the City of Unley.
Stretching from Hope Valley in Adelaide’s leafy north-eastern suburbs to Glen Osmond in the south, Sturt is named after Captain Charles Sturt, the renowned explorer who undertook significant expeditions into central Australia and later served on Norfolk Island and within the South Australian public service.
Multiculturalism lies at the heart of our community. Strong Italian, Chinese, and Indian communities enrich Sturt through their languages, traditions, culture, and cuisine, contributing to the electorate’s diverse and inclusive character. Sturt is also home to a wide range of sporting clubs, arts and cultural organisations, schools, early learning centres, community groups, and small businesses that help make our electorate a dynamic and connected place to live, work, and raise a family.
