Sunshine Residents & Ratepayers Association
Branch stacking is a genuine threat to our democratic way of life. It is a form of political corruption that should not be tolerated in a civilised society. It is a practice that should be stamped out in no uncertain terms.
If you, or anyone you know, is pressured into joining a political party without paying the membership fees, or if you are being told how to vote at elections, please contact SunRRA and pass on any information. Confidentiality is assured.

Stamp out branch stacking - at the ballot box! Get rid of the branch stackers once and for all.

Hard work pays off: New outdoor pool for Sunshine
Tuesday, 06 March 2007
John Thwaites (L) and Henry Barlow25m FINA pool to be installed - union endorsement - State Gov't financed
The hard work of the Sunshine community in campaigning for a full re-development of the Sunshine pool complex has paid off.

Sunshine will be getting a new 25 metre outdoor pool, as well as toddlers’ pools, in addition to the pool redevelopment that is currently underway. These outdoor pools were never part of the plans for the Sunshine pool complex until November last year when the Bracks Government stepped in and gave Sunshine an ‘iron clad’ guarantee it would install the outdoor pools at Sunshine. Click here to see the video.

How did this happen? How did the Sunshine community get the State Government to step in?

STOP the Neglect Of the West (STOP N.O.W.)
Sunday, 04 March 2007
It has been nearly four months since the Sunshine Residents & Ratepayers Association, (SunRRA) assisted in organizing a rally under the Teddy Whitten statue at Western Oval supported by over twenty community groups concerned by the appalling neglect of the western region of Melbourne by Local, State and Federal Governments.

The STOP N.O.W. rally was the first step of a process that will enable western community groups to network, share information and support each others causes. One of the purposes of STOP N.O.W. will be to highlight and expose the entrenched neglect of the west. Compared with other Melbourne communities in the east, south and north, the western suburbs consistently has less and inferior services and infrastructure, receives less funding and grants and is generally the poorer and hidden relative in the Melbourne family.

What could be the reason for the third poorest municipality Brimbank having the shortest zone 1 railway service, the most cancelled train services and trains with the least number of carriages. The poorest in Melbourne forced to pay the highest premium for an inferior public transport service.

The western suburbs has the highest needs and the least support services whether it is police numbers like the problems that Werribee police station endures, our schools, our hospitals, our transport, our roads, the story is the same in all things in the west.

CEO's PAYOUT MUST BE REVEALED
Monday, 12 February 2007
Marilyn DuncanWith Brimbank CEO Marilyn Duncan set to resign only six months before her five year contract expires, questions are being asked about her payout figure which is becoming the subject of a great deal of public interest.

Mayor Margaret Giudice, in her acceptance speech on being elected Brimbank Mayor last year, gave a pledge to residents that the council would be open and transparent. Yet at the same council meeting, she refused to release details of the CEO's departure package on grounds that these were "confidential".

It was not a good start for Mayor Giudice.

Here it is, finally, our Top 10 forum topics for the 2006 year. And yes, Ken Capar does get a guernsey, but we had to bend the rules to get him in. And of course the Sunshine pool complex was a red hot topic all year, but it didn't come in at number one.

Can you guess what the number one topic for 2006 was? Read on to find out.

Also, if you haven't already done so, don't forget to read part 1 of this article, where we reveal how SunRRA's website has continued to grow. You can also read about 2 of our most popular topics from last year's Top 10 and how visits and posts to these 2 topics have continued to grow.

SunRRA’s Annual Top 10 Most Popular Forum Topics for 2006 - Part 1
Monday, 08 January 2007

Interest in SunRRA’s website continues to grow, with traffic to our site now exceeding 400 visits per day. The average visits peaked in October 2006, when we averaged more than 500 per day. This coincided with SunRRA’s rally to save the Sunshine Pool on the morning of the Grand Final breakfast (the one where Ned Kelly made an appearance), which resulted in significant publicity for SunRRA and a subsequent spike in visits to our website (984 on 1 October, the day after the Grand Final; and 982 on 2 October).

In April 2006 we released our inaugural Top 10 Most Popular Forum Topics on the SunRRA website. This article was so well received that we decided to release an updated Top 10 list to coincide with the conclusion of the 2006 year.
