==Fields==

== Notes ==
{{#section:Template:Infobox Australian place/doc|image_upright}}

=== Footnotes field ===
Any references should be placed within the "footnotes" field and not within the field reserved solely for a numeric value. Otherwise, an error may result.

=== Unformatted numbers and expression errors ===
Certain fields require numeric values to be entered in an unformatted/raw fashion—i.e. 1000.0 NOT 1,000.0. If an expression error is present, simply remove any commas or spaces from the number.

== Tracking categories ==
* {{clc|Pages using infobox Australian electorate with unknown parameters}} – Articles that include deprecated or otherwise invalid fields are automatically added.
* {{clc|Pages using infobox Australian electorate with near parameters}} – Articles using "near" fields (<code>near-n</code>, <code>near-ne</code>, <code>near-e</code>, <code>near-se</code>, <code>near-s</code>, <code>near-sw</code>, <code>near-w</code> and <code>near-nw</code>) are automatically added. These fields should not be used on large electorates and may become inaccurate after electoral redistributions are completed, so their use needs to be tracked.
