Winter is on the way, but there are still some lovely autumn days to enjoy.
Across Greater Dandenong we have more than 600ha of parks and reserves to enjoy. Every year we carry out work across our city to ensure residents get the most out of this open space.
Over the past 18 months Dandenong North’s Thornton Reserve has transformed into a welcoming space for locals to gather. New fencing around the edges of the reserve have made it a safer space, while a shelter, park furniture and a barbecue make it inviting for get-togethers. Paths, a water fountain and tree plantings also add to the amenity.
I advocated for the park improvements, and it is rewarding to see my work as a councillor benefit the Dandenong North community.
We are always looking for ways to help our community be active and provide beautiful open spaces to help increase opportunities to Make Your Move. Whether you play informal games of soccer, football or cricket at the local park, or just chase the kids around a playground, it’s fun to get moving.
Road safety is an issue that is always a hot topic. This month three sections of Gladstone Road are due to be resurfaced. The works are due to happen between Fillmore Road and Police Road, from Princes Highway to Gerard Street, and from Nordic Road to Park Road.
Thanks for your patience while these works are completed. They will ensure a safer experience for all road users.
