This article provides information on candidates standing for the 2009 Queensland state election, which was held on 21 March 2009.
Redistribution A redistribution of electoral boundaries occurred in 2008.
The electorates of Charters Towers, Cunningham, Darling Downs, Fitzroy, Kurwongbah, Mount Gravatt, Robina, and Tablelands were abolished.
The electorates of Buderim, Condamine, Coomera, Dalrymple, Mermaid Beach, Morayfield, Pine Rivers, and Sunnybank were created.
The redistribution merged Charters Towers with Tablelands to create the National-held Dalrymple, Fitzroy into Mirani, and Cunningham with Darling Downs to create the National-held Condamine, all in regional Queensland. Notionally Liberal-held Buderim was created on the Sunshine Coast, notionally Labor-held Morayfield in the corridor north of Brisbane, and notionally Labor-held Coomera was created on the Gold Coast. Kurwongbah was renamed Pine Rivers, Mount Gravatt was renamed Sunnybank, and Robina was renamed Mermaid Beach. Burdekin, Clayfield, and Mirani became notionally Labor-held, while Glass House became notionally National-held.
The changes resulted in 62 notionally Labor-held seats, 8 notionally Liberal-held seats, 15 notionally National-held seats, and 4 notionally Independent-held seats. All Liberal-held and National-held seats became Liberal National-held seats.
The member for Charters Towers, Shane Knuth (Liberal National), contested Dalrymple. The member for Cunningham, Stuart Copeland (Independent), contested Condamine. The member for Darling Downs, Ray Hopper (Liberal National), contested Condamine. The member for Glass House, Carolyn Male (Labor), contested Pine Rivers.
