Save Sunshine Pool - Last Stand Rally

(Eureka) Last Stand Pool Rally

Sunday 16 July
11 30 a.m.
Sunshine Pool
Kennedy St Sunshine (Behind Bi-Lo)

Why:
We have heard that the Brimbank Council plans to bust the Sunshine Pool Community Picket with security guards and then roll in the heavy machinery to bulldoze our community built pools.

What will we lose:
  • 50M OUTDOOR POOL
  • OUTDOOR LEARN TO SWIM POOL
  • TODDLER'S POOL
What they are going to build for $9.5 million (plus GST): One small 0.9 metre (three feet deep at the deep end) Learn to Swim pool, A Smaller Gymnasium Not much else.

This is it - the Last Stand at the Pool - a peaceful rally of a community fighting for a big pool like every other community in Victoria has - not a little shallow pool that is only 3 feet deep at the deep end. (at the exorbitant cost to rate payers of $9.5 million) Ironically the time of the rally was the time that the Eureka Stockade started. We are hoping to have a descendent of one the Eureka Stockade miners in attendance to recite the Eureka oath! Event: Sunshine Pools - Last Stand Community Rally
