Local Government Reform 1993-1995

This council was abolished in 1994 as part of a statewide program of local government reform enacted between 1993 and 1995. The reform process reduced the number of councils from 210 to 78. Greater Dandenong City Council (VA 3690) has been appointed as the successor in law for the Cities of Dandenong and Springvale and has assumed any rights, assets and liabilities of these abolished councils.
