Geography
Central Division consists of two generally flat areas, the Port Victoria Suburban Plain and the Backotan Plain, seperated by hills. The division's most identifiable feature is the Port Victoria Peninsula, which contains the downtown area and is densely populated.

The Village Hills are located south of Port Victoria, on the border with Narra Division, and the Ventura Mountains are to the west, forming the border with West Coast Division.

The Ventura Mountains has two main peaks, Thumb Peak (~1240m) and Mount Beaufort (~1060m), both of which are easily visible from Port Victoria on a clear day.

The far north of the division is the location of Northwest Head, a hilly peninsula which forms the western edge of Pearl Bay.

Pearl Bay is one of only two major shipping ports on the west coast, and was built to facilitate easier trade with Mainland Asia.
