City of Monash
The City of Monash is a local government area in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne with an area of 81.5 square kilometres and a population of 200,077 people in 2016.
The City of Monash was once hunting grounds for two groups of First Nations peoples, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung in the north and the Bunurong people in the south. The City of Monash, named after World War I commander Sir John Monash and the local Monash University (established 1958), was created on 15 December 1994 when the state government amalgamated local councils all over Victoria, merging a substantial portion of the former City of Oakleigh with the whole of the former City of Waverley.
At the 2021 census, the city had a population of 190,397 up from 182,618 at the 2016 census.
