Electoral District of Hurtle Vale (PDF, 1.5MB)Features of the district
Location
This district situated to the south of metropolitan Adelaide is made up of residential and semi-rural suburbs and includes parts of the Onkaparinga Hills National Park.
Area
Approximately 49.4 km2Localities

History
The district of Hurtle Vale, as it exists now, was created at the 2016 boundary redistribution to replace the district of Fisher, and was contested and represented for the first time in 2018.
Origin of the name
The district is named after Sir James Hurtle Fisher (1790–1875) who was the first resident Commissioner of South Australia. In 1837, Sir James, John Morphett, Colonel William Light and a party of marines set off from Glenelg intending to travel overland to Encounter Bay. The area where they encamped overnight was named Hurtle Vale in honour of the Commissioner. The new district Hurtle Vale contains the south-western parts of the former district of Fisher. Thereby a connection is retained through the surnames of Hurtle Fisher – even if the original locality of Hurtle Vale itself actually lies outside the district, further to the north.
