In 2008, Tablelands was abolished—with effect at the 2009 state election—by a redistribution undertaken by the Electoral Commission of Queensland. Its former territory and voters were split between the districts of Cook, Hinchinbrook and the new seat of Dalrymple. There was also an earlier district called Tablelands based in the same region, it existed from 1950 to 1972.
