			==History==

			===Proposed amalgamation===
			An attempt was made in 1927 to consolidate the several splinter groups formed with similar aims in the Balwyn area. The [[Balwyn Ratepayers' League]] and the Progress Association attempted to merge, but differences of opinion between the two committees meant that this ended in failure.<ref>{{cite news \|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article257217510 \|title=BALWYN RATEPAYERS AND PROGRESS LEAGUES \|newspaper=[[Box Hill Reporter]] \|volume=XL, \|issue=26 \|location=Victoria, Australia \|date=1 July 1927 \|accessdate=8 November 2020 \|page=8 \|via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> This event later sparked the formation of yet another local progress association in July 1928, when the [[Balwyn Citizens' Association]] was established.<ref>{{cite news \|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article257220806 \|title=BALWYN. \|newspaper=[[Box Hill Reporter]] \|volume=41, \|issue=28 \|location=Victoria, Australia \|date=13 July 1928 \|accessdate=8 November 2020 \|page=2 \|via=National Library of Australia}}</ref>
