The division was created in 1977 and abolished in 1993. It was named for the
Sydney suburb of
Dundas, who was British Home Secretary 1791–94. It was located in the northern suburbs of Sydney, including
Carlingford,
Eastwood and
Epping. Dundas was created when
Parramatta was split. A small western portion retained the Parramatta name, while the majority eastern portion became Dundas. The new seat included nearly all of the Liberal-friendly areas of the old Parramatta, and was thus a natural choice for Parramatta's former member,
Philip Ruddock, to transfer to before the 1977 election. For most of its existence, it was a safe seat for the
Liberal Party and Ruddock held it without serious difficulty until 1993, when the seat was abolished. The former territory of Dundas was then split between Parramatta (west),
Bennelong (east) and
Berowra (north), and Ruddock opted to run for the seat of Berowra. ==Members==
