The Australian Electoral Commission will adjust the boundaries following a decision to add another electorate due to population growth.

Labor wants to cut loose sections where the Greens are ascendant within its seat of Wills, arguing for the return of Brunswick East and part of Fitzroy North to the Melbourne electorate, currently held by the Greens.
