As the newest Councillor in Greater Dandenong I am looking forward to representing the people of Yarraman Ward. I have lived in Greater Dandenong my entire life and now I want to make a difference for my fellow residents.
I want to highlight a few great projects that have seen some major upgrades in this ward, including the Railway Parade Streetscape Upgrade. This shopping strip is much-loved by locals, and improving the look of the area and the
access means even more people will feel welcome here.
This project has been carried out over stages and the upgrades were designed with feedback from the community. It delivered new paving, street trees that will increase shade, as well as new landscaping with areas for seating and other street furniture. We have also started construction of a new pocket park at 218 Railway Parade offering green open space for the community.
Noble Park is undergoing a transformation, and the Ian Street precinct is no exception. Upgrades carried out in collaboration with Council and the Noble Park Revitalisation Board were funded by the Victorian Government’s Office of Suburban Development.
Recently completed, the upgrades include the undergrounding of power poles contributing to a cleaner look. New streetlights and improvements to pedestrian access also improve accessibility and safety to the shopping precinct. New trees, landscaping and street furniture also add to the look and feel, with several art projects in surrounding streets helping to uplift the neighbourhood.
Noble Park is a unique and vibrant area and investment through the Revitalisation Board is helping to highlight the village character that makes our suburb so special.
I want the people of Yarraman to know I am here for you and ready to represent you in my role as Councillor. If you would like to contact me you can do so via email phillip.danh@cgd.vic.gov.au or phone 0473 482 153.
