A council in Melbourne’s west will fight a Heritage Victoria move to knock back a state heritage nomination for two 80-year-old buildings crucial to Victoria’s industrial history.
Brimbank council and local advocates are fighting to get two 80 year old moderne-style buildings in Sunshine on the state heritage list.
The former Sunshine Technical School on Derby Road, Sunshine was opened in 1914. It was the state’s first technical school that established a specialised girls’ school’, the Sunshine Girls’ Technical School, in 1921. In the submission it was noted that there were better examples of technical schools in a modern style already on the register such as Mac.Robertson Girls’ High School and Emily McPherson College – which are not in Melbourne’s west.
There are 106 state-listed heritage places in Melbourne’s western suburbs and 116 in the eastern suburbs, according to the state government.
