† - election not held, incumbent unoppossed 
‡ - incumbent councillor did not nominate for re-election

==Campaign==
Edward Dillon, the retiring councillor for South Ward, was defending his support of a controversial by-law to control wandering livestock. Arthur Willison opposed him at the 1915 election and defeated Dillon by 33 votes.<ref name="CamHawAd4Sep1915" /> This was no small achievement, Dillon having served for the longest period of time of any councillor in Camberwell's or Boroondara's history.<ref name="DillonBook">Dillon, Paul (2015) 'Edward Dillon, the Forgotten Boroondara Warrior of Bench, Bank and Borough'.
