Historical information

This photograph, taken by The Advocate in 2000, formed part of a special series documenting Sunshine.

This image features the Harvester Road Entrance to the recently opened Sunshine Police Station located at 497 Ballarat Road, Sunshine.

The police station formed part of a new larger civic and justice precinct that also included the new Sunshine Magistrates' Court.

The new complex replaced the smaller, overcrowded and outdated police station and magistrates' court previously located in Sun Crescent, Sunshine, providing modern facilities to serve the growing community of Melbourne's western suburbs.

Significance

The Sunshine Police Station is significant as an important civic institution serving the Sunshine community. It provides essential policing and public safety services and forms part of the Sunshine Justice Precinct, reflecting the growth and development of Melbourne's western suburbs.
