It is more important than ever to rejuvenate Springvale, and with Council’s investment in ongoing projects, we are well on the way.
The Springvale Boulevard Project has been developing for some time now and I want to thank the traders and visitors to the area who have shown a great deal of patience. Our great communication with these business owners has meant that they are always aware of the changes happening around them and they have time to prepare for any possible disruptions.
We have completed stage 2 drainage works and installed structural soil, which will help drainage for the new garden beds. Roadside kerb installation and public lighting works are now underway to enhance local safety.
Council is also assessing future upgrades to the ‘Number 8’ Balmoral Avenue multi-deck car park, seeking the best way to improve access and make structural repairs to improve safety.
I was so pleased to see so many residents and friends attend the Springvale Community Hub Community Celebration early last month. It was special to finally be able to officially celebrate the new community and civic heart of Springvale together.
I am determined to help transform Springvale into a cultural hub, where we can celebrate the diversity and contribution of our multicultural community across the Springvale Central Ward. I am in talks with Council and cultural organisations to share more live performances at Multicultural Place, so stay tuned.
It was great to celebrate Multicultural Arts Victoria’s In Situ launch at Multicultural Place recently with music, dancing and global rhythms on display.
Thanks to everyone who took part in our Clean Up Australia Day efforts in central Springvale, the improved cleanliness in our public spaces is appreciated by all.
Finally, I’d like to wish all those celebrating a very Happy Songkran New Year and hope everyone’s 2022 is off to a great start.
