Noble Park is undergoing a transformation with many projects taking shape in collaboration with Council and the Noble Park Revitalisation Board, with funding support from the Victorian Government’s Suburban Revitalisation Program.
The village feel of Noble Park’s activity centre is being enhanced. We have already seen the completion of more than a dozen projects, including streetscape upgrades, large scale artworks and open space improvements.
I recently attended the launch of the newly-named Muderra Way, a road linking Leonard Avenue and Ian Street under the train line. The road name is a Bunurong word for torrential rain, and three Aboriginal artists will create a traffic calming asphalt artwork that will extend across the roadway. You can read more on page 6.
The Our Street series will also activate public spaces in Noble Park with art installations, street performances and village celebrations.
One of the biggest annual celebrations on our city’s events calendar is the Children’s Festival and its headline event the Little Day Out. This year Council kicked off the September school holidays with the Little Day Out at Ross Reserve and it was wonderful to see so many families celebrating spring.
An important role for Council is to create a safe and thriving community and we are always advocating to improve safety for our residents. Over recent months we held two community safety forums in Noble Park (July) and Dandenong (August). Dozens of residents attended these forums along with other stakeholders and Victoria Police. We discussed a range of issues and Victoria Police shared their efforts to tackle crime and local safety concerns.
Council is always encouraging residents to get more active, and as Mayor I have opened many new top class sporting facilities over the past year, including Ross Reserve Pavilion (as pictured). As the weather is warmer now, I encourage you all to Make Your Move and keep active.
