The Sunshine City club was founded 20th September 1956 as the Sunshine Businessmen’s Club by local businessmen including Eugene “Kinder” Smith, Oscar McKay, Clarence Gibson Carlton, Albert Edward Bolt, and William Dinnell. The club was located at 24 Talmage Street Albion, in the former private residence of David Buchan Ferguson, Managing Director of Sunshine Harvester Works. In April 1968, the club was officially registered as The Sunshine City Club. During the 1970's and 1980's, the club saw the transition of the club rooms from a converted house to a purpose‑built community clubhouse.

On the 5th May 2026, the club ceased to trade as it was not financially viable to continue to operate.5874.01 - Sunshine City Club - Notice to All Members Appointment Of Voluntary Administrators 3rd May 2026 Letter.pdf 5874.02 - Sunshine City Club - Notice to All Members Administrators Appointment 3rd May 2026 Letter.pdf 5874.03 - Sunshine City Club - Advice To Creditors And Members 2nd July 2026.pdfsunshine city club, talmage street, albion, sunshine businessmen’s club
