The Sunbury community will benefit from a $2.5m boost for the Eric Boardman Stadium if the Albanese Labor Government is re-elected on Saturday 3 May. The money will help pay for “critical upgrades” to the stadium’s infrastructure.
Stage two of the council’s historic street signs project has been launched. It will see 28 informative signs appear in places such as Bulla. The project follows the success of a similar scheme in Sunbury.

The new children’s splash park at Sunbury Aquatic and Leisure Centre got a test run this week, but don’t get too excited – it may not be open until next summer.
