Last year (2023) was a great year with so many projects completed and new facilities opened in Noble Park Ward and across the suburb of Noble Park.
Highlights include:
- Opening of the Health and Wellbeing Gymnasium at NPAC
- Opening of Ross Reserve Sports Pavilion
- Blackspot Program funding to install raised platforms on Bloomfield Road, (Kingsclere Avenue to Yarraman Road), Noble Park
- Streetscape improvements in Leonard Avenue, Noble Park
- Frank Street Pocket Park Stage Two works including a pergola for shade
The coming year will be another busy year with more great projects coming. Including a Noble Park Mobile Library Service (in May/June), Noble Park Reserve works to improve oval drainage (valued at $250,000), and Blackspot Program funding of $955,480 to improve safety in Railway Parade.
The Noble Park Revitalisation Board also continues to support projects that rejuvenate the suburb of Noble Park. Stage One of the Muderra Way traffic calming mural is underway and features artwork designed by Bunurong artists, celebrating the traditional custodians of the land Greater Dandenong sits on. Stage Two has also received funding and will include painting railway columns. Read more about Muderra Way.
The Laneway Activation program also continues and in January a community painting day was held as part of the Colour Our Street program. A local arts group facilitated the mural painting in the laneway next to the Paddy O’Donoghue Centre. This project in particular has received a great response from local children.
A calendar of activations under the Our Streets Program will continue across 2024. In Copas Park a public art display has been set up in the form of three steel lanterns, showcasing a revolving display of art. Paint and Chat workshops were also held in the park across December and January.
