This was the fifth Legislative Council to be affected by the amendments to the constitution in 1881, which provided for the colony to be divided into four districts: (1) Central; (2) Southern; (3) North-Eastern and (4) Northern, with six members in each division; one third of each to be replaced in rotation every three years. Previously, the whole colony acted as one electoral district, "the province," with one-third replaced at general elections every four years.)
