Kooyong, Administrative division in City of Stonnington, Australia.
Kooyong is an electoral division spanning about 59 square kilometers within Greater Melbourne and takes in parts from three different local councils. The region covers areas from Boroondara City Council, Stonnington City Council, and Yarra City Council, forming an inner-city electoral zone.
The division has been in use since the first federal election of 1901, but only received its official name in October 2024. This long history shows how electoral boundaries have remained connected to this Melbourne area.
The name Kooyong comes from Aboriginal language and may mean a camp or resting place, or it could stem from a word meaning fighting spear.
The area lies completely within Melbourne's established urban sprawl and is easily reached through existing city infrastructure. Visitors can explore the different council areas by using local transport options.
The demographic classification as Inner Metropolitan reflects its position within Melbourne's established built-up suburbs, surrounded by municipal infrastructure.
