There were several attempts throughout the late 1920s and early 1930s to [[1934 resubdivision of the City of Camberwell|create a fourth ward in the City]]. Opposition to this proposal was enough to keep it from occuring for some years, but in 1934 the Council finally received approval for a further subdivision. This split the [[North Ward]] into the [[North East Ward|North East]] and [[North West Ward|North West]] Wards. | Upon the establishment of the [[City of Camberwell]], this three riding system was continued, but with the ridings now being named 'wards'.

In its 2019 subdivision review, the Victorian Electoral Commission recommended reforms to establish multi-member wards. However, the Victorian Government overrode these recommendations and instead maintained single-member wards. The reforms resulted in an additional ward, [[Riversdale Ward|Riversdale]], being added to the list of the existing ten.
