Springvale Community Hub

Cr Loi Truong - Springvale South Ward (Council News Article July 2023)

Councillor Loi Truong

One of our biggest community events is happening in Springvale this month. Springvale Snow Fest is a great opportunity to celebrate winter and what makes our community special.

This year’s Snow Fest will feature two snow play areas, an artificial ice rink, live performances, family rides and food and market stalls.

Come along to Springvale Snow Fest on Sunday 30 July, from 12pm–7pm. Visit snowfest.com.au for more information.

Improvement works at Burden Park continue, with new tree plantings and seats installed recently. I hope we can install a shade sail over the play equipment in the next 12 months.

In 2019, Council adopted a master plan to help ensure the park continues to meet the needs of our community and I continue to advocate for funding to carry out these upgrades.

I want to provide an update on the project to install traffic lights at the intersection of Harold and Corrigan Roads in Noble Park. At the time of writing this column the project was being completed. Statistics from recent years show the intersection is dangerous, but traffic lights will help make this a safer place for all road users and pedestrians.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic I have distributed over 36,000 free cloth face masks to the community. Since the start of this year, I have been working with Council to help distribute RAT kits and face masks as part of the Council RAT Program. Contact Council via email at COVID19@cgd.vic.gov.au to find out more.

If you would like to get in touch with me I can be reached via email at loi.truong@cgd.vic.gov.au or phone on 0466 004 618.
