Memorial proposal for H. V. McKay explores Sunshine oval site
The Braybrookshire council is urged to acquire freehold land between Ballarat and Bendigo rail line near Anderson Road for a public sports oval. The suggestion links a memorial to the late H. V. McKay with a park-like recreation area, noting potential improvement over the current Sunshine gateway and comparing to Kew’s open-access oval.
