The City of Springvale was a local government area about 30 kilometres (19 mi) southeast of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The city covered an area of 97.60 square kilometres (37.68 sq mi), and existed from 1857 until 1994.
History
Springvale was first incorporated as part of the Dandenong Road District on 6 February 1857. It then became part of the Shire of Dandenong on 16 May 1873. In May 1920, its coastal section split away to form the Borough of Carrum. The Shire of Dandenong was subdivided into two separate municipalities, namely the Shire of Dandenong and the Shire of Springvale and Noble Park, which came into effect on 31 May 1955. In May 1959, it lost 6.5 square kilometres (2.5 sq mi) of land to the City of Oakleigh. The City of Springvale was proclaimed on 22 April 1961.[2]
On 15 December 1994, the City of Springvale amalgamated with the then City of Dandenong to become known as the City of Greater Dandenong. The suburbs of Dingley Village, Braeside, Aspendale Gardens, Chelsea Heights and Patterson Lakes were transferred to the newly created City of Kingston.[3]
Council meetings were held at the City Hall, at Springvale Road and Grace Park Avenue, Springvale. It presently serves as city offices for the City of Greater Dandenong.
