The Facts

• Sunshine is desperately short of open space, even Brimbank Council agrees.

• Sunvale Primary School has sadly closed, with the new Sunshine Harvester Primary School now open on the East Sunshine site

• The Community has called for Sunvale to be kept as Open Space for future generations. The site is perfect for a community park with meeting space and community development facilities - especially for youth.

• Nick Foa, CEO of Brimbank Council, has decided that the Sunvale site will become a high-density, multi-storey housing development under the banner of "social housing." Social Housing is a Brumby Government policy and it is removing the need for any planning permits. This means that a developer could build apartment towers on the site and no-one could object.

• Brimbank Council voted to support Nick Foa's proposal - even though the council has never discussed it - and without any community consultation.

• Sunshine already has a lot of social housing. We can't afford to have hundreds and hundreds of more residents plonked on Sunvale taking up open space. Why? Because we don't have the facilities, services, parks, gardens and other infrastructure to care for them properly.

• Sunshine has poor health status compared with other areas of Melbourne. We need more recreational opportunities for our children. Not Less.
