Hoppers Crossing just got a bit brighter and more colourful thanks to an eye catching new mural that is now on display.

The mural aptly titled ‘Moments of Bloom’ is on the outside façade of Youth Services Hoppers Crossing, part of a revitalisation project of the youth services building.

The mural 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.

“Moments of Bloom is a wonderful addition to Youth Services Hoppers Crossing, creating a visual landmark that brings warmth and inclusivity to the centre.” said Wyndham mayor Jennie Barrera.

Experienced visual artist Justine ‘Juzpop’ Millsom painted the mural, using themes of connection, community, diversity, and identity to create a series of designs which were then voted on by Wyndham young people.

The mural was jointly funded by Wyndham council and the state government.
