Smellshine - Why is Sunshine under a spell of smell lately?
Sunday, 07 May 2006
Cr Miles Dymott and Darlene Reilly of SunRRA met with Simone French, Operations Manager and Kevin Banner, Managing Director of Organic Recyclers in Brooklyn on Friday March 31st 2006. Cr Dymott set up the meeting and invited a SunRRA representative to come along.

For a picture of what met us go to http://www.organicrecyclers.com.au

We were told Organic Recyclers have been operating from this site since 1997 and was a very small operation until about two years ago when their business grew 300% practically overnight.

This growth is because of the new green waste fortnightly service council's are introducing. Before the new fortnightly green waste services Orangic Recyclers only had to deal with monthly bundled kerbside pick up waste as the grass clippings went in the rubbish bins and straight to landfill.

EPA has confirmed to sunRRA members who have called them to complain that the smell overtaking Sunshine is coming from Organic Recyclers.

Brimbank Council breaches privacy act AGAIN (2nd time in a year!) SunRRA lodges official complaint
Sunday, 07 May 2006

Sunshine Residents & Ratepayers Association (SunRRA) has lodged an official complaint with Brimbank City Council on behalf of their members. The official complaint accuses Brimbank Council of breaching the Privacy Act on Principle 1 Collection, Principle 2 Use and Disclosure, Principle 8 Anonymity and Principle 10 Sensitive Information in regard to Brimbank Councils Harvester Rooms Condition of Use for Non Commercial – Non Profit Groups.

SunRRA believes this breach of the Privacy Act has occurred through lack of training in this field, lack of senior management supervision and lack of understanding of the basic ‘privacy principles’.

SunRRA Top Ten Discussion Forums
Saturday, 01 April 2006

SunRRA’s website has been in operation for more than one year and now averages almost 200 visits every day. One of the website features that visitors gravitate to is SunRRA’s Discussion Forum. The forum assists in binding the Sunshine community together and provides it with an online presence that never existed prior to the introduction of the website. It enables people to discuss any issue that concerns them and it’s an excellent source of information.

Over the last year there have been some hotly debated topics, controversial topics, and humorous topics on the forum. Some topics have had an almost instantaneous death, with a single post and no responses, while others have captured the emotion and imagination of visitors, and have resulted in weeks of discussion, and generated more than 50 responses from visitors.

Which topics have generated the most interest? I’ve compiled a Top 10 of the Most Popular Discussion Topics, based on the most viewed topics (ie. the ones that have been read by the most people). These also tend to be the ones that have generated the most replies from visitors.

SunRRA Supports Saving or Replacing Sunshine's Outdoor Pools
Monday, 30 January 2006
Please consider actively supporting the residents of Sunshine in saving or replacing our outdoor pools.

The Sunshine 50 metre outdoor pool was built in 1961 using community labour and part community raised funds. The working class residents of 1961 wanted a pool like the one they had seen built for the 1956 Olympics. After a three year community fund raising campaign the workers of Sunshine raised 7,000 pounds and contributed roughly 7,000 pounds of community labor to help offset the cost of the 60,000 pound project. Those workers raised these funds and contributed labour so that their children could enjoy the sport of swimming. Not for one generation or two but for all future generations.
 
 
 
 
 
This will sadly not be the case as the Brimbank Council neglected maintenance over many years and allowed the pools to get run down until their final closure in 1992. Since then the community of Sunshine have been told lies, promises and mistruths.

BRIMBANK COUNCIL GIVEN GREEN LIGHT TO BULLDOZE SUNSHINE’S OUTDOOR POOLS.
Tuesday, 24 January 2006

A VCAT hearing held Tuesday 10th January 2005 which heard objections to Brimbank City Councils decision to grant itself a planning permit for the $7M redevelopment of Sunshine Swim & Leisure Centre has upheld Brimbank Councils plans to demolish 3 outdoor pools which will be replaced with one 12 x 12 metre pool.

savesunshinepool.com, Sunshine Community Pool Action Group, Sunshine Residents & Ratepayers Association and various community and sporting groups and schools who supported the objection lodged by local resident Mr. John Hedditch are disappointed with the result.
