Wyndham City is delighted a colourful new eye catching new mural is now on display and brightening up the outside façade of Youth Services Hoppers Crossing, formerly known as the Youth Resource Centre in Hoppers Crossing.
The mural aptly titled ‘Moments of Bloom’ is part of the Youth Services Building revitalisation project and portrays a young woman thoughtfully handling a sunflower and is a visual expression of the diversity of young people, their creativity, their experiences and potential to blossom.
Wyndham City’s Mayor Cr Jennie Barrera said: “Moments of Bloom is a wonderful addition to Youth Services Hoppers Crossing. Creating a visual landmark that brings warmth and inclusivity to the centre.”
“The Mural was co funded in partnership with a State Government Grant through the Minister for Youth the Hon. Natalie Suleyman’s office and contribution from Wyndham City Council.” Said Cr Barrera
