Queensland boundaries are set to be redrawn on 48 electorates, with two new seats - Springfield and Caboolture - created in the populous southeast.
The massive overhaul of the state's 93 electoral districts will also cut two seats - both currently held by opposition parties - while dozens are set to be renamed.
The Brisbane south seat of Stretton, held by Labor for more than a decade, will be absorbed into neighbouring electorates.
The north Queensland seat of Hill - held by Katter's Australian Party - will also be scrapped in a move seen as a slap in the face for regional voters.
Hill will be absorbed into the surrounding seats, turfing MP Shane Knuth into the political wilderness for a third time.
The political stalwart, who has previously also represented the Nationals and Liberal National Party, is set to lose his seat in a boundary reshuffle again after his Charters Towers and Dalrymple electorates were abolished previously.
Katter's Australian Party state leader Robbie Katter said the Queensland Redistribution Commission's electorate review under LNP premier David Crisafulli was insulting to the people of north Queensland.
"It's pretty disappointing for a premier that left north Queensland to go for a safe seat, Broadwater at the Gold Coast, and lives in Brisbane," Mr Katter told AAP, referring to Mr Crisafulli.
"He has betrayed the people of north Queensland.
"It hurts that someone would turn on their own like that. He's just indulging in these political games. It's just dirty politics."
Opposition Leader Steven Miles labelled the process "selfish politics" that would drag Queensland back to the years of the Joh Bjelke-Petersen gerrymander.
The system in the 1970s and 1980s helped Mr Bjelke-Petersen win a majority of seats by giving a higher weighting to National Party-friendly electorates despite claiming a smaller percentage of the overall popular vote.
"Queenslanders cannot have any trust in this process when the integrity of the Redistribution Commission has been marred by the LNP's selfish politics," Mr Miles said.
"Queenslanders can't have confidence that the redrawn boundaries were drafted in good faith ... that the LNP didn't have sway over the process."
He said Labor would analyse the draft report and voice concerns to the commission.
Mr Crisafulli on Wednesday said he had not had time to read or consider the new-look electoral map.
"That's an independent decision. I haven't had a chance to look at it," the premier said.
Nineteen seats named after historic persons will also be given a makeover in line with geographic area.
The redistribution commission defended the "extremely complex and time-consuming" report.
"These changes, particularly where districts are proposed to be absorbed into the surrounding districts, are not made lightly," chair Gregory Koppenol said.
The legally required redistribution is the first for the state since 2017, when parliament expanded from 89 seats.
The redrawn map will be used in the 2028 state election.
