Noble Park roadworks

Cr Sophie Tan - Noble Park Ward (Council News Article August 2023)

Councillor Spohie Tan and MP Lee Talarmis stand in a Noble Park street.

There is always so much happening across the Noble Park Ward, and this month is no different. 

I want to share that the Noble Park Revitalisation Board is funding streetscape upgrades to Leonard Avenue. The works will enhance the village character of Noble Park. 

Works started in May and weather permitting should be finished by the end of September. Workers will endeavour to minimise disruption to local traders, but the works have required the temporary closure of some on-street parking. 

The Noble Park Revitalisation Board has supported community and Council-led projects that have breathed new life into Noble Park. Late last year a beautiful new park at 2A Frank Street was opened to the public, creating a green corridor between Ross Reserve, Aubrey Moss Memorial Gardens and Copas Park. The second stage of this development, which is being funded by Council, includes a picnic shelter, which should be in place by the end of the year. 

In addition to Council funding road projects, we also seek funding from the Federal Government’s Black Spot Program to install safety measures at locations with a history of traffic accidents. We have received $484,000 to improve the safety on Railway Parade, Noble Park, to install raised safety platforms and line marking between Chandler Road and Bennet Street. Detailed designs have been completed and works are due to be completed by December. 

A new service delivered by Greater Dandenong Libraries in the form of a Library Locker is coming. Residents in Noble Park will be able to pick up requested items locally and return them via the new Library Locker. The library team is looking for a central and accessible site for the lockers, and library patrons will be informed once the new service is operational. 

If you are not a library member join now so you can take advantage of this upcoming new service.
