Former Croydon Fire Station

Location 14 Croydon Road CROYDON, MAROONDAH CITY Level Included in Heritage Overlay

[1/1] Croydon Fire Station Complex

Statement of Significance

A particularly domestic-scaled and contextually sympathetic suburban fire station, designed by architects Stuart P. Calder and McLaughlan, and opened in 1959. It is historically significant to Maroondah in embodying the history of fire-fighting on the extreme outskirts of the MFB in a bush-fire prone area. It is architecturally significant as a good intact example of the post-war work of Stuart P. Calder, a significant pre-war architect of commercial and public Modernist buildings and of this building type.
