About the Project
The Croydon Road Streetscape upgrades are an outcome from the Logan Central Summit. The upgrades deliver on the community’s desire forlocal pride, activation and social opportunities, culture, and healthand safetyin the Croydon Road Precinct (Woodridge Station area). The Croydon Road Precinct Streetscape Master Plan was completed in mid-2022 and the Croydon Road Streetscape upgrades were identified as a priority project.
The streetscape upgrades include:
a slow speed environment with a single level surface across the whole street
increased greening, shade and amenity: new trees and planting
artwork integrated with the streetscape
a flexible-use space with features to support markets and events
lighting and CCTV to improve the safety of the street
better street facilities - shelters, seating, and bins
new toilets, which will support market operations. They will be open during the day and closed at night.
The project is jointly funded by Council and the Queensland Government through the Queensland Government’s 2021-24 South East Queensland Community Stimulus Program.
Community feedback
The community was invited to provide feedback on the concept design and submit other ideas for the streetscape between November 2022 and January 2023. Council hosted 2 activation events where the local community could help design the street improvements:
Colours on Croydon (February 2023) – a 2-day activation to test shared zone concept with art activities.
Taste of Croydon (March 2023) – a mini street festival to test activating public space with creative lighting, local food, and community performances.
