Our Street NPK (Noble Park)

Lights, colours, music, performances and play – so many ways to enjoy our streets and laneways in Noble Park.

Noble Park’s community is showing off its traders, open space, talents, creativity and celebration pride of place in the Noble Park Our Street series of art installations, street performances and village celebration in this much-loved pocket of trade and community spirit. 

The Our Street NPK (Noble Park) campaign has four themes.

Light Up Our Street

Light up Our Street kicked off in 2023 with lights brightening up Noble Park’s streets, parks, laneways and even the shops are sparkling.  

Public Art Installation

A new public art installation depicting large community lanterns now brightens up Copas Park. These curious, playful and enticing structures are creatures housing an ever-changing gallery of small artworks. They are imagined beings made only to be filled with the imagination of others. 

To protect, illuminate and showcase the creativity of the community for the community. Their hand-crafted legs bring unique personalities, while their bodies are open and transparent, ready to be filled with new ideas, inspirations and creations. Visit them often and discover what new stories they may have to share with you.  Looking forward to displaying some local history in the community lanterns. 

We are seeking community help in naming this new art installation. Stay tuned for more information coming soon.

Colour Our Street 

Splashes of colour and flowers in bloom will brighten up our village streets and residents’ gardens.  Community have enjoyed Colour Our Street in many ways over past couple of months with outdoor painting workshops, community laneway painting and video production as well as the pop up artists murals in Buckley Lane.  Next time you are in the area schedule a trip to both Buckley Lane and the laneway adjacent to Noble Park Public Hall and take a selfie with Noble Park's newest artworks.

Colour Our Zebra Crossings

On Saturday 20 April help us celebrate the colourful zebra crossings.  Come along to Commonwealth Bank Laneway, Douglas Street from 2pm to 3pm.  Roving Entertainer will provide some fun and laughs for the children. 

The First 25 people, to introduce themselves to our Council Staff Member will receive a NPK Keep Cup or Shopping Bag.

Colour our Laneway Bollards

St Anthony's Primary School and one of Council's talented volunteers are collaborating in the design, creation and delivery of 2 Guardians to look over our Carpet Mural - keep an eye in this area late in May.  Watch the transformation of two of our laneway bollards as they stand tall and colourful, enhanced by the projection of video.

Paint your Story in Our Street

A very special carpet has landed in the Noble Park Public Hall laneway.  Local families were engaged with the Artists from AKC ArtsBus, volunteers and council staff in co-design and drafting stages of creating their unique story on our vibrant laneway.  Families have painted their story through use of pictures, patterns and colour which now weave together the many cultures and experiences in Noble Park.

Visit the Noble Park Public Hall laneway between Buckley Street and the Frank Street Car Park and check it out.
