On 15 December 1994 a new municipality was created to form Bayside City Council which comprises the former City of Brighton, the former City of Sandringham and part of the former City of Mordialloc west of Charman Road and part of the City of Moorabbin between the railway and Charman Road.

Under the initial proposal for the LGA, it was to be named "City of Warrain", warrain being a Boon wurrung word for "by the sea" (and also an earlier name for North Road<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>), but the City of Sandringham proposed that the name "Bayside" be used instead.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
