History
[[City of Brighton (Victoria)|City of Brighton]]
Main article: City of Brighton (Victoria)
In 1858, after receiving two petitions, the Government proclaimed the Municipality of Brighton. Brighton was proclaimed a borough in 1863, a town in 1887, and a city in 1919.
[[City of Sandringham]]
Main article: City of Sandringham
The Moorabbin Road District was created in 1862 and became the Shire of Moorabbin in 1871. In 1917, parts of the West and South ridings were severed to create the Borough of Sandringham and three years later parts of the South and Cheltenham ridings were severed to create the Borough of Mentone and Mordialloc. The two boroughs became the Town of Sandringham and the Town of Mentone and Mordialloc in 1919 and 1923 respectively and Sandringham the City of Sandringham in 1923.
[[City of Moorabbin]]
Main article: City of Moorabbin
Created a road district on 16 May 1862 and later proclaimed a shire in January 1871. A portion of Moorabbin Shire severed and annexed to Brighton Town in 1912 and a portion severed in 1917. The Borough of Mentone and Mordialloc was established in 1920 and re-subdivided in 1929 and later proclaimed a city in 1934.
[[City of Mordialloc]]
Main article: City of Mordialloc
Created as the Borough of Mentone and Mordialloc by severance from Moorabbin Shire in May 1920. Redefined as a portion of Moorabbin Shire being severed and annexed in 1921. Declared a town in April 1923 and its name changed to Town of Mordialloc in April 1923 and later gazetted a city on 5 May 1926.
City of Bayside
On 15 December 1994 a new municipality was created to form Bayside City Council which comprises the former City of Brighton, the former City of Sandringham and part of the former City of Mordialloc west of Charman Road and part of the City of Moorabbin between the railway and Charman Road.
Under the initial proposal for the LGA, it was to be named "City of Warrain", warrain being a Boon wurrung word for "by the sea" (and also an earlier name for North Road), but the City of Sandringham proposed that the name "Bayside" be used instead.
Bayside was rated eighth of 590 Australian Local Government Areas in the Bankwest Quality of Life Index 2008.
