Local Media Pty Ltd publishes a local Waverley Gazette/Monash Gazette edition of The Local Paper.

The newspaper commenced publication as the Glen Gazette on Februray 8, 1961, under the auspicies of the Coleman-Kingsway Traders’ Association. The new paper filled the gap of the Mulgrave Mercury, established on November 4, 1949, and absorbed in the South Eastern Standard News-Pictorial from February 25, 1960.

The Glen Gazette changed its name to the Waverley Gazette on December 20, 1961, under the control of journalist James Hattwell and his wife, advertising representative, Winifred ‘Wyn’ Hattwell.

The company, Waverley Offset Printers Pty Ltd, was established in Railway Pde, bringing one of the first web-offset presses to Australia. The printing company became part of the Leader group.

The progenitor of Local Media Pty Ltd published the Waverley City News in 1984-85.
