History

Sandringham was originally part of the Shire of Moorabbin, and was severed and incorporated as the Borough of Sandringham on 28 February 1917. It was proclaimed a town on 9 April 1919 and a city on 21 March 1923.[2]

On 15 December 1994, the City of Sandringham was abolished, and, along with the City of Brighton and parts of the City of Moorabbin and the eastern section of Beaumaris, from the City of Mordialloc, was merged into the newly created City of Bayside.[3]

Council meetings were held at the Municipal Offices, on Royal Avenue, Sandringham. It presently serves as a corporate centre for the City of Bayside.
