Description
City of Berwick presentation brass key mounted on painted MDF board. Stylised and patinaed to imply age. "City of Berwick" engraved on the shank.
On October 1, 1973, following significant population growth and urbanisation, the area surrounding Berwick and Narre Warren was proclaimed as the City of Berwick, splitting it from the then Shire of Berwick. The other region of the former Shire of Berwick became the Shire of Pakenham. On 15 December 1994, the City of Berwick was abolished, and, along with sections of the City of Cranbourne, was merged into the newly created City of Casey.
