Brisbane was an electoral district, located in the colony of New South Wales, Australia, and part of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly. It was created for the July 1859 election, partly replacing Stanley Boroughs and including the settlement of Brisbane. It was abolished in December 1859 as a result of the separation of Queensland.[1][2][3]
