We Built this City celebrates the stories of some of Greater Dandenong’s favourite heritage sites as chosen by our community.
The Springvale Municipal Offices were built in 1959 with the realisation of the lack of recreational and entertainment facilities to support the growing population. The new City Hall was built in 1961 completing the Springvale transformation to an established metropolitan suburb. The Springvale community continues to enjoy the space today.
