McKay as Sunshine Gardens later taken over by Brimbank City Council and renamed the H.V. McKay Memorial Gardens. The development of the gardens was not only an expression of H.V. McKay's own social philosophy but also represented a changing attitude to Urban Planning that is known as the "Garden Suburb" movement.〔Garden city movement〕 A Friends Group was established in 2007 to rescue the Gardens from serious decline and in April 2012, local residents were campaigning to preserve the original state of the public space. ==History== In 1909 the Sunshine Gardens were developed to provide an amenity for the employees of the Sunshine Harvester Works.〔Aitken, R., ‘H.
