Croydon Station is in full bloom, with the station precinct’s artwork now settled into its new home.
Bloom, 2 cast-bronze sculptures by acclaimed Australian artist Donna Marcus, frame the main station entrance, with their warm tones designed to complement the new premium station and the precinct’s newly-landscaped open spaces and surrounding natural environment.
The striking spherical sculptures each feature 12 cone-like shapes, inspired by everyday household objects such as pudding bowls and jelly moulds, and local seed pods and gumnuts, illustrating Croydon’s transition from its agricultural origins to today’s bustling multicultural community.
When fully completed, the new Croydon Transport Hub will feature the new premium Croydon Station and rail bridge, a 14-bay bus interchange, 3 new road connections, 284 car parking spaces, new shared user paths, and open spaces with more than 70,000 trees, plants and grasses.
