View source for President of Boroondara Shire

{{Stub}}
The '''President of the [[Shire of Boroondara]]''' was the rough equivalent of the present-day position of [[wikipedia:mayor|mayor]]. The term was used due to Boroondara's status as a shire rather than a city, making it technically a rural rather than metropolitan council. The president was elected from amongst the sitting [[Councillors of Boroondara Shire|councillors]] on an annual basis.
