History
Nunawading was originally part of the Nunawading Road District,[1] which was incorporated on 7 August 1857. The district was renamed the Shire of Nunawading on 4 May 1872. On 26 May 1925, the Shire of Blackburn and Mitcham (sometimes referred to as Blackburn-Mitcham) came into being, when the eastern two-thirds of the district seceded; the western part went on to become the City of Box Hill. The shire was proclaimed as the City of Nunawading on 30 May 1945.[2]
On 15 December 1994, the City of Nunawading was abolished, and along with the City of Box Hill, was merged into the newly created City of Whitehorse.[3]
Council meetings were held at the Nunawading Town Hall, on Whitehorse Road, Nunawading. It is used today for the same purpose by the City of Whitehorse.
Cr Noel Spurr OAM was elected the last Mayor of Nunawading, and in 1997 was elected to the inaugural Whitehorse City Council.
