Our whole community is celebrating with a brand new facility at Noble Park. The Noble Park Aquatic Centre (NPAC) has undergone a major development with the completion of a $6.9 million health and wellbeing gymnasium. 

The new gym has been well received by locals since it opened for business and is expected to have a positive impact on community health. 

While the new look NPAC is exciting for the community, there is so much more happening in Noble Park. 

The $9 million Ross Reserve Sports Pavilion is soon due for completion. The sports clubs who call this reserve home will be looking forward to using this top-class pavilion for years to come. 

The creation of a pocket park in Frank Street, Noble Park has been completed, giving locals more open green space to relax in and enjoy. While the plantings are still young, once they mature the space will look even more spectacular. This park will create a great place for residents to visit and will also contribute to a green wildlife corridor through the suburb. 

Our youngest residents and their parents are celebrating the completion of a playground with shade sail coverings recently completed at Noble Park Reserve. 

Two local road projects are also in the design phase and will hopefully be completed and make our roads safer by the middle of this year. 

The first will see a raised intersection and raised platforms along Bloomfield Road, Keysborough, where there is a history of speeding drivers and accidents involving parked cars. This project will be funded under the Federal Blackspot Program. 

The second project will implement road treatments designed to slow traffic and improve pedestrian and motorist safety in Joy Parade.
