The Camberwell Shopping precinct, which is centred on Burke, Camberwell and Riversdale roads in Camberwell, has offered stylish street shopping to customers for over 160 years (Boroondara, 2015). There are now over 400 businesses ranging from shopping and retail, to food and dining, as well as entertainment, professional services, fresh food markets, antique stores, major chain stores, an even elegant art deco Rivoli Cinema (Boroondara, 2015).
The Boroondarah area was originally part of the hunting grounds of a Wurundjeri clan of the Woiwurrung people (Boroondara Council, 2015). The first local government body was the Boroondara District Road Board, formed in 1854 and incorporated the areas which were to become Hawthorn, Kew and Camberwell.
