History

Burrup was first created for the 1996 state election and was abolished ahead of the 2005 state election. At its abolition, most of Ningaloo's territory was incorporated into the new district of North West Coastal, with the rest added to Central Kimberley-Pilbara.

Burrup was represented by Labor MP Fred Riebeling for its entire two terms. Prior to that, Riebeling had been the member for Ashburton. Subsequent to Burrup's abolition, he contested and won the seat of North West Coastal.
