			==History==
			The [[Boroondara Road District]] was not politically subdivided. Its 12 members could be elected from anywhere across the District. This system was carried over into its successor, the [[Shire of Boroondara]] until 1889. In 1888, the Shire voted to divide the municipality into three [[wikipedia:Riding\|ridings]] with three councillors representing each: [[North Riding\|North]], [[Centre Riding\|Centre]] and [[South Riding\|South]].<ref>The Argus. ''Municipal Intelligence''. 15 March 1888. http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/6110060, accessed: 18 September 2016</ref>

			* [[Lynden Ward]]
			* [[Maling Ward]]
