This is the first Double Dissolution election held in Australia since 1987, where the full Senate will be elected rather than the normal half-Senate election. A Federal redistribution prior to the election saw Western Australia gain an electorate (from 15 to 16 seats) with New South Wales losing one (from 48 to 47 seats). Burt is centred around the City of Gosnells area which was previously parts of the Divisions of Hasluck (Eastern suburbs of Perth), Tagney (southern suburbs of Perth) and Canning (outer south eastern Perth and Peel Region). Changes to the boundaries of these electorates and others beyond have been made to allow for roughly equal numbers of voters in each electorate. Although there is no sitting member, the results from the booths in the area from the 2013 Federal Election indicate this was a notionally Liberal held seat with a margin of 6.1% Some of the first flyers distributed around the newly-created Division of Burt in Perth's south eastern suburbs prior to the calling of the Federal Election of July 2.
