Noble Park has recently undergone a transformation with many projects completed across the 2023–24 financial year.

I am excited to announce new projects which appear in the 2024–25 Budget and are specific to Noble Park will include:

► Road resurfacing projects on sectionsof Knox Street and David Street
► Road rehabilitation works on two sections of Buckley Street
► Design of car park and picnic area at Noble Park Reserve.

Upgrade of kindergarten and childcare area at the Paddy O’Donoghue Centre. In collaboration with the Noble Park Revitalisation Board and as part of the Matching Grant Program, carry over funding will support the completion of
more projects within the Noble Park Activity Centre.

Further minor projects earmarked for Noble Park Ward include drainage, public art, open space, Neighbourhood Shopping Centre Signage, CCTV and open space furniture.

As part of the 2024–25 Capital Improvement Program I have requested the following upgrades: 

► Greenglade Reserve – Furniture and landscape upgrade, estimated cost $80,000
► Pop Up seasonal greening in laneways and/or open space, estimated cost $10,000
► Digital tour of NPK (Stage 2), estimated cost $8,128
► CARDIAC Connect Monitored AEDCabinet (requested by Noble Park CFA), estimated cost $1,872.

I am also excited to announce that coming soon to the Noble Park Activity Centre will be a Little Library. A set of bright lockers will allow library members who can’t make it into one of our branches to pick up holds and return
books at a time that suits them. Stay tuned for more information about the location and how to access this service.

It’s certainly an exciting and very busy year ahead but I look forward to making Noble Park a special place to work, live and play.

I hope you get out and about to discover Noble Park and enjoy everything that it has to offer.
