Commemorate the Community Building of the Sunshine 50M Outdoor Pool
|
Sunday 30 July 1.30 p.m.
Sunshine Pool Sunshine site on the grass behind the old 50M pool Farewell to the Old 50 After discussions with the CFMEU yeserday the Brimbank Council has belatedly agreed to allow the Sunshine community to have a Commemoration Service for the old community built and funded 50M outdoor pool before it is demolished next week... The service will honor the magnificent voluntary efforts of local residents, community groups, schools, unions and businesses who between 1958 - 60 collectively raised over 7500 pounds and contributed much more than that in voluntary labour and materials to build the 50M outdoor pool for future generations to enjoy. view newspaper clippings about building of 50m pool The "Farewell to the Old 50 Commemoration Service" will also call on the Brimbank Council and Bracks government to urgently agree in writing on the proper replacement for our grand old 50M pool. And for them to agree to this before demolition starts so the Sunshine community knows where we are at with the promises that have been made about a stage 2 replacement for the 50 metre pool. It is terrific that work will commence on refurbishing the indoor pool and the new wading pool but the community needs solid confirmation on what will replace the outdoor 50 metre pool. (Note: Werribee is having its 50 metre pool replaced in the next 12 months and new outdoor leisure pool built) more info: Save Sunshine Pool Committee |

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:
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 more info: Save Sunshine Pool Newletter | SMS list 0408 521 913 text "Save the Pool" | Picketline roster hotline 0408 521 913 | Save Sunshine Pool Website |
