It is a very exciting time for Dandenong, with a number of major projects now moving into their delivery phase.
Revitalisation of the Dandenong Market Bazaar Area
Dandenong Market Management is planning to commence the revitalisation early next year with the aim to complete the project by mid next year. This upgrade will transform the space into more welcoming, accessible and vibrant destination for market shoppers.
Dandenong Community Hub
Council has been consulting with the community for some time and is now working toward finalising the concept design of the new Dandenong Community Hub. Community members have provided thoughtful and creative input over a series of workshops, helping to shape what will be a vital facility for our city. We have seen good progress, and we’ll see more as we reach milestones on other important projects including the Dandenong Market Master Plan and the Dandenong Market Precinct Plan.
Dandenong Aquatic and Wellbeing Centre and Hockey Centre
Construction has commenced on the new Dandenong Aquatic and Wellbeing Centre – a state-of-the-art facility set to open in 2027. The existing pool will remain open until the new centre is ready, ensuring the community continues to have access to aquatic facilities throughout the transition. The final name of the facility is yet to be confirmed, and we will keep you updated on the process.
Keeping our Streets Clean
Rubbish remains a strong focus of mine. We are targeting hotspots around the market, as well as Stud Road and Cleeland Street. Council officers continue to educate the community, monitor recurring dumping sites and issue
warnings to repeat offenders.
