History

Moe was for most of its history part of the Shire of Narracan, which was first incorporated in 1878. Its growth as an industrial centre due to nearby coal-mining in the Latrobe Valley resulted in a boom in population, and ultimately in its severance and incorporation as the Borough of Moe on 28 August 1955. On 6 March 1963, it was proclaimed as a City. On 1 October 1990, further land was annexed to the City from Narracan.[2]

On 2 December 1994, the City was abolished, and merged with the City of Morwell, the City and Shire of Traralgon, and parts of Narracan and Rosedale into the City of Latrobe.[3]

Wards

The City of Moe was divided into three wards, each of which elected three councillors:

  • Centre Riding
  • East Riding
  • West Riding
