Modialloc was created in 1992, largely replacing the old seat of Mentone, although rather further south. On its current boundaries it stretches from middle-class beachside suburbia around Parkdale and Mentone in the north to low-income suburbs in Edithvale, Chelsea and Chelsea Heights, with Mordialloc in the centre of the seat.
Mordialloc has always been a marginal seat, only once electing a non-government member, in 1999. Every member for the seat has eventually been defeated. It was contested in 1992 for Labor by Peter Spyker, a minister in the Kirner government who had previously been MLA for Heatherton and Mentone. He was defeated by Geoff Leigh, who was MLA for Malvern from 1982 to 1992 before losing his Liberal enorsement. Having successfuly transferred to Mordialloc, Leigh held the seat until his defeat in the Bracks landslide of 2002. His Labor successor, Janice Munt, was defeated in 2010 by the Liberal Lorraine Wreford, who was in turn defeated in 2014.
Tim Richardson, Labor MLA for Mordialloc since 2014, was a staffer for Tammy Lobato MLA and Mark Dreyfus MHR before being elected. He was promoted to the ministry wheh Ben Carroll became Premier in July 2026.
Members: Geoff Leigh (Liberal) 1992-2002, Janice Munt (Labor) 2002-08, Lorraine Wreford (Liberal) 2010-14, Tim Richardson (Labor), since 2014.
