It’s hard to believe that I have served as a Greater Dandenong Councillor for six months.
I am so proud of my Yarraman Ward and continue to work hard to improve the area.
Council continues to make improvements and upgrades all throughout our city through the Capital Works program.
Last year, some major upgrades in this ward included the Railway Parade Streetscape upgrades, enhancements to the Noble Park activity centre with several public art projects and activations, further upgrades to the Ian Street precinct and a new Pocket Park at 218 Railway Parade offering more green open space to the community.
I am pleased that Council has committed in the 2024–25 budget to the following Yarraman projects:
- Parkfield Reserve – Tennis Courts Redevelopment (Northern court construction)
- Fotheringham Reserve – Renewal of the sub-surface oval drainage
- Fifth Avenue Childcare – Replacement of ceilings including fixed plaster
I ask that you all be patient with some of these works as you travel around the city. The improvements may affect local areas, but will deliver beautiful suburbs that will make us more efficient and will be there for the whole community to enjoy now and in the future.
New statistics have shown that Dandenong has the highest level of homelessness in Victoria. For that reason, Council has a partnership response to homelessness with Launch Housing through the Dandenong Zero Project. The project aims to end rough sleeping homelessness as a first step toward ending all homelessness in the City of Greater Dandenong. Visit greaterdandenong.vic.gov.au to read more about this project.
I want the people of Yarraman to know I am here for you and ready to represent you in my role as Councillor. Contact me via email at phillip.danh@cgd.vic.gov.au or phone 0473 482 153.
