This year will be a recovery year for all of us as COVID-19 restrictions are gradually easing back to normal and the vaccines continue to rollout.
So, what’s news for Noble Park this year?
Thanks to the Victorian Government’s suburban revitalisation program, the Noble Park Revitalisation Board has been established and the board is working to provide advice to the State Government on future projects and ways to realise Noble Park’s potential.
The Noble Park Revitalisation Board will kick off with upgrades to the All Abilities Playground at Ross Reserve, planned for completion by June 2021 and in this financial year, the State Government also invested another $310,000 dollars on Douglas Street
project in Noble Park, which is fantastic news for the Noble Park Ward.
Council, State Government and other local stakeholders will work together and explore further opportunities for co-investment in the local area to implement future improvements at the Noble Park Activity Centre.
The draft Noble Park Major Activity Structure Plan will be amended slightly after hearing community/Councillors’ feedback. The final draft will be reported back to Council and adopted later this year.
Every year Greater Dandenong City Council spends approximately $60 million on its capital works program.
Here are some of the major capital improvement programs for Noble Park Ward this financial year 2021–2022:
► $1.17 million Activity Centres Strategic Plan – Noble Park Douglas
Street Streetscape (Stage 4), which includes threshold treatments and functional road changes at Douglas Street and Leonard Avenue to Stuart Street that will improve the appearance of the street and address identified traffic and parking issues.
► $610,000 Noble Park – Revitalisation
► $500,000 Frank Street – Open Space Improvement.
Lastly, I wanted to say Happy New Year to Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Cambodia for celebrating their New Year in April.
