The Shire of Pakenham was a local government area located about {{convert|60|km|mi|0}} southeast of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The shire covered an area of {{convert|874|km2|sqmi|1}}, and existed from 1862 until 1994.

History

The Berwick Road District was incorporated on 24 October 1862, and became a shire on 12 May 1868. At the time, it was a considerably larger area, extending well into what is now Melbourne's eastern and southeastern suburbs, including today's City of Knox, as well as areas east of Dandenong and the Dandenong Ranges.

On 23 May 1889, the Scoresby Riding was severed and incorporated as the Shire of Fern Tree Gully. Fern Tree Gully in turn was splintered in 1964, to form the City of Knox and the Shire of Sherbrooke.

In 1902, the Berwick Shire headquarters moved to Pakenham. The shire was generally rural in character, with fruit growing, dairying and sheep and cattle grazing being the main pursuits. However, from the 1950s onward, the western part, around Berwick and Narre Warren, experienced major residential growth as well as industrial development.[2] On 1 October 1973, the western part split from the shire and was immediately proclaimed as the City of Berwick. The remaining rural area was renamed the Shire of Pakenham on 1 September 1974.[3]

On 15 December 1994, the Shire of Pakenham was abolished, and, along with parts of the City of Cranbourne (Koo Wee Rup and Lang Lang) and the Shire of Sherbrooke (around Emerald and Cockatoo), was merged into the newly created Shire of Cardinia.[4]

Council met at the Shire Offices, in Duncan Drive, Pakenham. The facility is now the headquarters for the Shire of Cardinia.
