Queensland Consolidated Acts Queensland Consolidated Acts(1) In preparing the proposed redistribution, the commission must consider the following matters--
(a) the extent to which there is a community of economic, social, regional or other interests within each proposed electoral district;
(b) the ways of communication and travel within each proposed electoral district;
(c) the physical features of each proposed electoral district;
(d) the boundaries of existing electoral districts;
(e) demographic trends in the State, with a view to ensuring as far as practicable that, on the basis of the trends, the need for another electoral redistribution will not arise under section 39 before it does under section 38.
(2) The commission may also consider the boundaries of local government areas to the extent that it is satisfied that there is a community of economic, social, regional or other interests within each local government area.
(3) The commission may give such weight to each of the matters set out in subsections (1) and (2) as it considers appropriate.
(4) It is the intention of the parliament--

(5) Without limiting subsection (4), a decision of the commission about--
(a) the existence of any matter mentioned in subsection (1) or (2); or
