Brimbank Council proposes to create a new public plaza in Sunshine, next door to the new Vietnamese Museum Australia being built at 119 Durham Rd, Sunshine by mid-2026.
The plaza will be a welcoming public space for everyone to enjoy, honouring the Traditional Owners and celebrating all refugee and multicultural communities in Brimbank.
The pedestrian-only, well-lit space will have plenty of seating, garden beds and public art by a local indigenous artist. The large gum trees already on site will be retained, and more trees will be planted.
The plaza will serve as a forecourt to the new museum and a connection between R. T. Pollard Gardens and Durham Rd, Sunshine. The plaza is intended to be a destination in its own right and will be open to the public at all times.
The design ign was shaped by engagement with Traditional Owners Wurundjeri Council, a range of multicultural groups and the Brimbank Youth Council. Work on the detailed design will follow next. Council last week (Mar. 18) also endorsed \u2018Wominjeka Plaza\u2019 as the proposed name for the new plaza. Wominjeka means \u2018welcome\u2019 in the Woiwurrung language of the Wurundjeri people, was the name recommended by Wurundjeri Elders during consultation on the plaza design.
Brimbank Mayor Cr Thuy Dang said: \u201cI am very excited to see plans progressing for a wonderful new public plaza at Durham Road, Sunshine.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
