The safety of residents across our city is always a priority for me, and Council has been successful in receiving funding under the Federal Government’s Blackspot Program to improve one particularly hazardous intersection in the Springvale South Ward.
Work has begun to install traffic lights at the intersection of Harold and Corrigan roads in Noble Park.
Statistics taken from previous years show that there have been a number of crashes involving cars turning out of Harold Road. Traffic lights will help make conditions safer for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.
Following a period of consultation last year, Sandra Reserve in Noble Park has now been fitted with new play equipment. The new playground was designed to encourage active, challenging, imaginative social play for younger and older children. The old equipment was removed and donated to a Rotary Club project supporting overseas communities.
Upgrade works at the Burden Park Tennis Club are also progressing well with the first stage of the upgrade almost complete. The courts have been resurfaced with synthetic grass and the lights and fencing have been replaced to meet current Tennis Australia standards. Once the first three courts are open for play, the remaining three courts will be closed for upgrading, ensuring that tennis players can continue to use this facility throughout the works.
Sustainability is important in helping to protect our environment and one way to be more sustainable is to take part in the monthly Springvale Community Hub Clothes Swap. You can contribute up to 10 items of clothing to each swap. This month’s event will be held on Saturday 18 June. You can find out more information via Council’s website.
