St Austell Poltair represented the north-west of St Austell, including Poltair School and a small part of Boscoppa (which was mostly covered by the Penwithick and Boscoppa division).[3]
The division was nominally abolished during boundary changes at the 2013 election, but this had little effect on the ward. Both before and after the boundary changes in 2013, it covered 174 hectares.[3][4]
