It was created under the Local Government Act 1989 and established in 1994 as an amalgamation of former councils.[2][3] It has an area of 63 square kilometres (24.3 sq mi) and lies between 7 and 21 km from central Melbourne. In 1994 it had a population of 116,000.[4] In June 2018 Banyule had a population of 130,237.[1] The Yarra River runs along the City's southern border while its western border is defined by Darebin Creek.
