Celebrating the Centreway’s new look
The Centreway business area in Keilor East has received new streetscape and park improvements. Join us to celebrate the recent upgrades to this lively community hub.
We are proud to officially unveil the recent beautification works at Keilor East’s Centreway. These works were part of our Centreway Greening Project and FJ Davies Reserve Shelter/Stage Project, which have come to fruition. Improvements include:
- A vibrant mural painted by First Nations artist, Brendan Kennedy
- A new outdoor stage to support events, performances and gatherings
- Evergreen native trees in surrounding garden beds, improving biodiversity
- Two new raised pedestrian crossing points between the retail strip and FJ Davies Reserve
