The shire was made up of six councillors in an unsubdivided electoral system from its establishment in 1871 until 1889. On the 8 April 1889, the shire was [[1889 subdivision of the Shire of Boroondara|subdivided into electoral divisions]] for the first time. These were termed [[wikipedia:Riding_(country_subdivision)|ridings]] from the English subdivisions of the same name. Three ridings were created ([[North Riding|North]], [[Centre Riding|Centre]] and [[South Riding|South]]) with three councillors representing each.<ref name="BoxHillReporter22Aug1902">[[Box Hill Reporter]].
