History

Heidelberg was first incorporated as a Trust in 1840 - making it one of the earliest local government formations in Australia. On 12 October 1860 it became a District with a Roads Board. On 27 January 1871 it became a Shire and on 11 April 1934 it was proclaimed a City. In the 1960s it lost significant sections of its territory when on 1 October 1962 the neighbouring City of Northcote annexed its South Ward, and on 30 September 1964 the Shire of Diamond Valley was created out of its mostly rural North Ward.[2]

On 15 December 1994, along with nearly all other councils in Victoria, the City of Heidelberg was abolished and was merged with parts of Diamond Valley and Eltham into the new City of Banyule. A small area near La Trobe University was added to the City of Darebin.[3]

Council meetings were held at Heidelberg Town Hall in Upper Heidelberg Road, Ivanhoe. It is still used for the same purpose by the City of Banyule.

Wards

The City of Heidelberg was subdivided into five wards, each electing three councillors:

  • Banyule Ward
  • Eaglemont Ward
  • Heidelberg West Ward
  • Ivanhoe Ward
  • Macleod Ward[2]
