Crescent Streetscape Upgrade

Monument flanked by flags at The Crescent

Open, beautiful spaces, especially in city centres gives workers and visitors an open space to eat lunch, socialise and relax within the hustle and bustle of the City.

Council has given the international monument near Fairfield Station a facelift creating an oasis for workers and visitors while also giving a good impression of our city centre for rail passengers arriving at Fairfield Station or passing through.

Upgrade works included new flagpoles, the addition of a universally accessible footpath and taxi stand, plus new seating, paving and surrounding landscaped areas.

The Stimson Memorial Drinking Fountain was restored and relocated to its primary location as part of this project. Planning now underway to restore and return the LJ Friend Clock Tower to this site.
