The City of Camberwell was a local government covering eastern middle-ring suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, including Camberwell, Ashburton and Balwyn.
History
The City began as a result of the renaming and reorganisation of the Borough of Boroondara into the Town of Camberwell in 1905. Later that year, it was proclaimed a city.
1993 dismissal
Main article: 1993 sacking of Camberwell Council
Following a series of investigations and financial troubles at the council, the latter largely brought on by the payout required as a result of the Podgor Development, the Victorian Government determined to dismiss all sitting councillors and replace them with an administrator.[5]
