Sunbury set for the big screen

Sunbury will be catapulted to Australians televisions after the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) was out and about filming its latest road safety campaigns last week.

A number of new campaigns were filmed from July 24 to July 29, at various locations including Fitzroy, Sunbury, Wildwood, Northcote, Altona, Williamstown and Melbourne CBD.

The filming was also for the extension of the ‘Always On’ enforcement campaign – ‘Anywhere, Anytime, Anyone,’ which is in response to last year’s road trauma.

TAC chief executive Tracey Slatter said TAC looks forward to sharing the new campaigns with the community, which reminds people they will be caught if they take risks on the road.

“The TAC is committed to engaging with the Victorian community on important road safety issues,” Ms Slatter said.

“We look forward to sharing new campaigns in the coming months, targeting the risk-taking behaviours that are taking lives on our roads.

“Don’t drink or drug drive, obey speed limits, avoid distractions, and always wear a seatbelt – making good choices can be the reason everyone reaches their destination safely.”

The Sunbury community shared their speculations over the filming in Jackson’s Hill on Facebook, with some users guessing sequels to recent blockbusters.

These guesses included Oppenheimer two, Barbie two, a new Neighbours episode, or a new Netflix documentary.

While the filming will not be appearing in a new blockbuster, it will go towards creating new TV commercials to target risk-taking behaviours such as speeding, distractions, drink and drug driving, and seatbelt compliance.
