On 31 May 1955, the new Shire of Dandenong was separately incorporated, while the original Shire of Dandenong was renamed Springvale and Noble Park. On 14 May 1959, Dandenong was proclaimed a city.[2]

On 15 December 1994, the City of Dandenong was abolished, and along with parts of the Cities of Berwick, Cranbourne and Springvale, was merged into the newly created City of Greater Dandenong.[3]

Council meetings were held at the Town Hall, at the corner of Lonsdale Street and Walker Street, Dandenong, but most city business was conducted at the city offices in Clow Street, two blocks away. Both locations are still used by the City of Greater Dandenong for their original purpose.
