Cr Sophie Tan - Noble Park Ward

The Noble Park Activity Centre is becoming a more vibrant hub as stage 4 of the Douglas Street upgrade works near completion.

The new planting, seating area, traffic signalisation, public lighting and overall streetscape upgrade of the Leonard Avenue intersection has also created a fresher look in the ward.

Up to 50 trees will be planted in a suitable location as part of the Tree Planting Plan. Appropriate locations are currently being assessed by our Parks team and will be planted this month.

A new interpretive sign at Copas Park has been installed within a new rose garden; and a new interpretive sign at the Noble Park Public Hall is currently in progress.

Several other capital works in the Noble Park Ward will be completed this year. The 2A Frank Street public open space redevelopment’s community consultation and concept design have been completed. The new space includes a performance platform, shade structure, trees, tables and benches, landscaping and lighting. Construction is anticipated to commence in June.

The procurement phase of the Noble Park Reserve neighbourhood playground project is underway. The project includes a new playground, the installation of shade sails, path connections and seating.

I’d like to extend my thanks to the Victorian Government’s Noble Park Suburban Revitalisation Board for their support towards many new projects in the Noble Park Ward, including: the Leonard Avenue and Buckley streetscape concept designs, Library Lounge Feasibility Study at Paddy O’Donoghue Centre, pedestrian counters across five locations which provide real-time movement data, five seasonal display crates in the Noble Park Activity Centre and the Transformed temporary public art project.

There is much more to come, but I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone who celebrates their New Year in April a Happy New Year.

If I can help you and your family with any local government matters, please contact me on 0466 793 727 or sophie.tan@cgd.vic.gov.au.
