Origin of the name

The district is named in honour of Peter John Badcoe VC (1934 – 1967), who served in the Royal Australian Infantry Corps and was killed by enemy fire in Vietnam. Badcoe was awarded the Victoria Cross, as well as several other service medals for his bravery and acts of heroism in the Vietnam War.

Key boundary changes following the 2020 redistribution

Badcoe gains the suburbs of Marleston, Netley and Plympton Park and the remainder of the suburb of Plympton. It loses Clarence Gardens and Clarence Park and portions of the suburbs of Ascot Park and Edwardstown.
