History
Nunawading was originally part of the Box Hill District, which was incorporated on 7 August 1857. The district was renamed Shire of Nunawading on 4 May 1872. On 26 May 1925, the Shire of Blackburn and 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, along with nearly all other councils in Victoria, the City of Nunawading was abolished, and its area reunited with Box Hill in the new City of Whitehorse.[3]
Council meetings were held at Nunawading Town Hall on Maroondah Highway, 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.
