The City of Banyule is a local government area in Victoria, Australia in the north-eastern suburbs of Melbourne. 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.

The City moved their main offices from Ivanhoe to Greensborough in 2017.[5][6] A brand-new civic centre was constructed, including three-level offices to accommodate 320 council staff, community and function rooms.[7]
