Braybrook council urged new ground for football and cricket
The Braybrook council received a letter from the Sui able Football Club asking if a sports ground would be prepared for residents. The club cited the current ground under Railway Department control. Dr McKay pushed to secure land offered by Cohen Fyfe and Taylor for a reserve, noting the present site is unsuitable, and moved to obtain possession of the Cohen Fyfe Taylor plot for football use. The Sunshine Progress Association opposed a recreation reserve outside the railway ring and demanded immediate consideration of Wright and Edward site near the station.
