The federal electorate of Stirling is located in the northern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia, encompassing suburbs such as Balga, Carine, Doubleview, Gwelup, Innaloo, Karrinyup, Osborne Park, Scarborough, Stirling, and Trigg. Established in 1955, Stirling has historically been a marginal seat, often swinging between the Australian Labor Party (ALP) and the Liberal Party. The electorate is characterized by a mix of residential areas, commercial hubs, and coastal communities, with Scarborough Beach being a notable landmark. Stirling's demographics reflect a diverse population, with a range of socioeconomic backgrounds. Key issues for voters often include local infrastructure, healthcare, and coastal management, given its proximity to the Indian Ocean.
