History
Chelsea was originally part of the Shire of Dandenong, and was severed and incorporated as the Borough of Carrum in May 1920. It was proclaimed the City of Chelsea on 8 May 1929.2
On 15 December 1994, along with nearly all other councils in Victoria, the City of Chelsea was abolished and merged into the newly-created City of Kingston along with Mordialloc and parts of Moorabbin.3
Council meetings were held at Chelsea Town Hall at 316 Station Street, Chelsea. It presently serves as the council service centre and library for the City of Kingston.
Wards
The City of Waverley was subdivided into three wards, each electing three councillors:2
- North Ward
- Centre Ward
