History

[edit]

Eaglehawk was first incorporated as a borough on 29 July 1862. It had nine councillors, who represented the entire borough.[2]

On 7 April 1994, the Borough of Eaglehawk was abolished, and along with the City of Bendigo, the Rural City of Marong and the Shires of Huntly and Strathfieldsaye, was merged into the newly created City of Greater Bendigo.[3][4]

Councillors met at the Town Hall, at the intersection of Sailors Gully Road and Loddon Valley Highway, Eaglehawk.
