Harvest News Updates

Right on Anderson Road, the H.V. McKay Memorial Gardens are part of industrialist H.V. McKay's "garden suburb" vision for Sunshine. Today they're on the Victorian Heritage Register, with English oaks, a large Magnolia grandiflora, big deodar cedars, a small rose garden and wrought-iron gates made by a blacksmith from the Sunshine Harvester Works.

Keen to go further? According to Brimbank City Council, the Kororoit Creek Trail runs about 15km through parkland from Deer Park, past Cairnlea, Albion and West Sunshine, to the Federation Trail in Brooklyn. Look out for the Black Powder Mill and natural rock pools along the way.

At Harvest Sunshine, the heritage gardens are right next door, perfect for a morning stroll.

According to the Victorian Government (21 October 2026), the delivery team has been chosen for the Sunshine Station Superhub, which will turn Sunshine into a six-platform station. Stage 1 includes two new platforms for regional trains, an extended concourse, new forecourts on both sides of the station and an upgraded bus interchange, with completion due in 2030.

The works will untangle six kilometres of track between West Footscray and Albion, allowing more frequent trains on the Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo lines. The Government also says Melbourne Airport Rail Stage 2 works start in the coming weeks, with completion due in 2031.

At Harvest Sunshine on Anderson Road, you'll have a front-row seat as Sunshine's transport story unfolds.
