As the Noble Park Ward Councillor and Deputy Mayor, I am always proud to share the wonderful work happening across Greater Dandenong.
Recently in Noble Park we celebrated the completion of an upgrade to Greenglade Reserve. Visitors to the park will have seen the new play equipment, furniture and landscaping, making it a more inviting space for all.
Upgrades to the kindergarten and childcare space at the Paddy O’Donoghue Centre have also been completed. This centre, which has been a part of the community for 100 years, will continue to support local families.
Recently the Malaysian community hosted a winter night market at the Frank Street Open Space, which was completed last year. The event was very successful and is exactly what this space was designed for.
The Noble Park Little Library Lockers project is close to completion. The lockers will be installed at the Noble Park Train Station in the coming months and will be available for use before the end of the year.
In 2025-26 Council has committed funding to complete Stage 1 of an offsite car park at Noble Park Reserve.
The biggest project happening in Noble Park at the moment is the construction of 97 social housing apartments at 51A Douglas Street. This project will help boost affordable housing and will assist vulnerable people including those escaping family violence. These homes are expected to welcome new residents next year.
Following the removal of two River Red Gum trees from the site the developer has contributed $155,000 to support planting efforts across the suburb. This month 180 new street trees will be planted across Noble Park.
Finally, I am looking forward to the opening of the highly anticipated Keysborough Community Hub. It will be a great resource for the community, and I can’t wait to see it open.
