Doyle was elected with a swing of 20.5 points and won the seat with 53.4 per cent of the two-party vote. Doyle's opponent was Nick Bleasdale, representing Labor. Graham West who was the previous Labor sitting member had earlier announced his retirement from politics after holding the seat for 10 years.{{cite news
