The 1992 Queensland state election was held on 19 September 1992.
Redistribution A redistribution of electoral boundaries occurred in 1991. The zonal system was abolished, with a weighting added for remote electorates over 100,000km2.
The electorates of Auburn, Balonne, Bowen, Broadsound, Carnarvon, Condamine, Cooroora, Fassifern, Flinders, Glass House, Isis, Landsborough, Manly, Merthyr, Mourilyan, Nundah, Peak Downs, Pine Rivers, Port Curtis, Rockhampton North, Roma, Salisbury, Sherwood, Somerset, South Coast, Stafford, Toowong, Townsville East, Windsor, and Wolston were abolished.
The electorates of Beaudesert, Broadwater, Bundamba, Burleigh, Caloundra, Capalaba, Charters Towers, Chermside, Clayfield, Cleveland, Crows Nest, Ferny Grove, Fitzroy, Gladstone, Hervey Bay, Inala, Indooroopilly, Kallangur, Kedron, Keppel, Kurwongbah, Maroochydore, Merrimac, Mooloolah, Mount Ommaney, Mundingburra, Noosa, Sunnybank, Waterford, and Western Downs were created.
The redistribution added 7 more electorates to Greater Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast, while leaving 7 less electorates in regional Queensland. Aspley, Clayfield, and Hinchinbrook became notionally Labor-held.
