The Municipality of Bexley was a local government area in the St George region of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
From 1 January 1949, the council was amalgamated into the Municipality of Rockdale, with the passing of the Local Government (Areas) Act 1948.
[12] On 11 November 1901, the Council Chambers on corner of Queen Victoria and Northbrook Streets, Bexley, was officially opened with a hybrid design consisting of alderman Paine's floorplan and architect William Kenwood's facade.
[13][14][15] From 28 December 1906, following the passing of the Local Government Act, 1906, the council was renamed as the "Municipality of Bexley".
[17][18] By the end of the Second World War, the NSW Government had realised that its ideas of infrastructure expansion could not be effected by the present system of the patchwork of small municipal councils across Sydney and the Minister for Local Government, Joseph Cahill, passed a bill in 1948 that abolished a significant number of those councils.
