In line with the Council CPI index, the price of show-bags in 2025 has been increased to $6 with a concession card, and $16 full price. Community referrals will be $6 per showbag. Please direct any questions to Team Leader of Young Communities by emailing jessicam@brimbank.vic.gov.au or calling on (03) 9249 4315.
Every school holidays, Brimbank Youth Services runs a Show-bags Ballot, which offers low-cost vouchered activities to young people aged 10 to 17 who live, work, study and/or socialise in the city of Brimbank.
If your ballot entry is successful, your show-bag will cost you only $16 (or $6 if you have a valid concession card).
What’s in the show bag?
A double pass to one of our Brimbank Leisure Centres
Plus one of the following:
- Double pass to either Sunshine Village Cinemas or Watergardens Hoyts Cinemas
- Double pass to Sunshine Rollerskating
- Double pass to driving range or 9-hole course at Keilor Public Golf Course
Please note: When completing the ballot entry form, you will be asked to nominate TWO preferences. If you are successful, you are not guaranteed your first preference.
In previous years, we offered double passes to the Mt Derrimut Driving Range and Mini Golf. As Mt Derrimut Golf & Community Club is closed until further notice, we no longer offer this as part of our Showbags program.
For more information, please email bys@brimbank.vic.gov.au or call 9249 4000.
