I have been advocating strongly for road safety across Greater Dandenong, in particular for the Noble Park North ward since being elected. I am extremely happy to report we were
successful in obtaining $433,000 of Federal Black Spot funding to install raised safety platforms and upgrade raised platform treatment of existing school crossings on Browns Road.
I’m confident this will reduce heavy vehicles on the road as well as improving safety for residents. Victoria Police will also continue patrolling driver behaviour in the area.
You will also notice there has been a significant amount of kerb and channel works locally. During COVID-19 I walked every street in this ward to observe where works were needed and noticed many issues with drains, channels, potholes and footpath damage. Over the past year Council invested more than $3 million on kerb and channel works, and I can certainly see the difference as I drive through the ward now and see the incredible work done to renew these assets. I highly encourage residents to use the ‘Snap Send Solve’ app to report any issues.
I am delighted to report that we have been successful in obtaining $550,000 in State Government and Council funding for Lyndale United Soccer Club (located at Lyndale Secondary College) towards the upgrade of the canteen. I will continue to work closely with the club to ensure it gets the facilities our community deserves.
Implementation of the Barry Powell Reserve masterplan has begun. Oval 2 is now being upgraded and Council is finalising concept designs for the pavilion redevelopment. I will continue
to advocate for this project to seek Council and State Government funding, particularly as this reserve is in Premier Daniel Andrews’ electorate. The vision for Barry Powell Reserve is that it
will provide for Noble Park’s growing population with a mix of spaces for a variety of activities.
