The Sunshine Municipal Offices in Alexandra Avenue Sunshine opened in 1967. The building was designed by Gordon Stuart Warmington, a former Sunshine resident. The building was a substantial modernist civic structure with a distinctive boomerang / Y‑shaped plan. Its most iconic feature is the dramatic stained‑glass mural panel projecting over the main entrance featuring a modern sun motif referencing Sunshine’s industrial identity and the Sunshine Harvester Works logo. During the 1970's and 1980's additional wings and extension were added to the eastern side of the building. The building served as the City of Sunshine’s Town Hall until the municipality was abolished in 1994, when Sunshine merged into the newly created City of Brimbank. After the new Brimbank Community and Civic Centre in Hampshire Road opened in 2016, the Council moved its corporate and library operations to the new building. The Alexandra Avenue site was sold to developers in 2018 for $5.58 million. The building then fell into disrepair and was subject to a number of arsonist attacks, squatting, drug taking and other criminal activity. The building is protected by heritage overlays, particularly for its stained‑glass mural and original 1960s form. In November 2025, the City of Brimbank ordered the owners of the site to undertake some emergency demolition works to make the site safe. The stained‑glass mural panel was dismantled in pieces and has been store away for future restoration works by the City of Brimbank.These photographs record the part demolition of a former City of Sunshine Civic building from December 2025 to February 2026. These pictures were captured after the stained‑glass mural panel was dismantled and put into storage. The former eastern end extension had previously been demolished.5554.01 - Alexandra Avenue - Sunshine Municipal Offices Demolition 2025 Photo 01.JPG 5554.02 - Alexandra Avenue - Sunshine Municipal Offices Demolition 2025 Photo 02.JPG 5554.03 - Alexandra Avenue - Sunshine Municipal Offices Demolition 2025 Photo 03.JPG 5554.04 - Alexandra Avenue - Sunshine Municipal Offices Demolition 2025 Photo 04.JPG 5554.05 - Alexandra Avenue - Sunshine Municipal Offices Demolition 2025 Photo 05.JPG 5554.06 - Alexandra Avenue - Sunshine Municipal Offices Demolition 2025 Photo 06.JPG 5554.07 - Alexandra Avenue - Sunshine Municipal Offices Demolition 2025 Photo 07.JPG 5554.08 - Alexandra Avenue - Sunshine Municipal Offices Demolition 2025 Photo 08.JPG 5554.09 - Alexandra Avenue - Sunshine Municipal Offices Demolition 2026 Photo 09.jpeg 5554.10 - Alexandra Avenue - Sunshine Municipal Offices Demolition 2026 Photo 10.jpeg 5554.11 - Alexandra Avenue - Sunshine Municipal Offices Demolition 2026 Photo 11.jpeg 5554.12 - Alexandra Avenue - Sunshine Municipal Offices Demolition 2026 Photo 12.jpeg 5554.13 - Alexandra Avenue - Sunshine Municipal Offices Demolition 2026 Photo 13.jpeg 5554.14 - Alexandra Avenue - Sunshine Municipal Offices Demolition 2026 Photo 14.jpeg 5554.15 - Alexandra Avenue - Sunshine Municipal Offices Demolition 2026 Photo 15.jpeg 5554.16 - Alexandra Avenue - Sunshine Municipal Offices Demolition 2026 Photo 16.jpeg 5554.17 - Alexandra Avenue - Sunshine Municipal Offices Demolition 2026 Photo 17.jpeg 5554.18 - Alexandra Avenue - Sunshine Municipal Offices Demolition 2026 Photo 18.jpeg sunshine municipal offices, alexandra avenue, sunshine
