City of Greater Bendigo - Civic Collection
Functional object - Ballot Box, Shire of Marong, Shire of Marong 21, Unknown
The first local government authority for Marong was the Marong Road District (an early form of single-purpose local government), which was proclaimed on 19 August 1860. Its boundary was altered twice in 1862 and on 12 December 1864 it was re designated as a Shire. It absorbed Raywood Borough in 1915, and was proclaimed a Rural City in 1990. On 2 December 1994, with the creation of Greater Bendigo City Council, it was abolished by being amalgamated with Bendigo City, Eaglehawk Borough, Huntly Shire, part of McIvor Shire, part of Metcalfe Shire and Strathfieldsaye Shire to form the City of Greater Bendigo. This box would have been used to collect votes during council elections.Wooden, painted, lidded box with hinged opening lid. Central slit in lid to insert ballot papers. Front face painted in black and gold paint. Hinged at back of box with lock on front. Front of box Shire of / Marong / 21shire of marong
