Success Stories

Sunshine Outdoor Pool

Residents of Sunshine can again enjoy a swim in their outdoor pool, following a long campaign that has proven successful. Against all odds and against an ALP dominated council that wanted to close the entire pool complex, Sunshine residents used every weapon in their armoury to snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat.

Congratulations to all involved, including:

• Sunshine Mothers Group
• Sunshine Community Pool Action Group
• SaveSunshinePool.com
• Sunshine Residents and Ratepayers Association
• Trade Union Movement
• Schools, Sporting Clubs and other community associations.
