Croydon Sewer Vent, Heritage sewer ventilation stack in Croydon, Australia.

The concrete ventilation stack rises from an octagonal base, featuring a tapered circular shaft with reinforced ribs and a projecting cornice at its peak.

The Metropolitan Board of Water Supply and Sewerage constructed this ventilation stack in 1922 to address gas issues from the Homebush Bay Abattoir operations.

The structure represents early 20th-century engineering solutions for urban sanitation, demonstrating the development of public infrastructure in New South Wales.

Located adjacent to 12 Paisley Road, the ventilation stack continues to serve its original purpose within Sydney Water's sewerage management system.

The pedestal measures approximately 6 meters high and incorporates neoclassical console brackets, making it one of only two similar structures in Sydney.
