We are delivering important infrastructure improvements across Yarraman Ward, with upgrades to local roads and community facilities helping to improve safety, access and day to day use for all.
A key project in my ward is the reconstruction of Dunblane Road, Noble Park. This project is valued at more than $300,000 and will provide a smoother and safer road surface helping to improve conditions for drivers, pedestrians and residents who use this street daily.
We have also recently completed resurfacing works on Corrigan Road between Allister Road and Harold Road. The $215,000 project included a new surface, as well as new pavement works and line markings, making travelling through Noble Park safer.
Alongside road improvement, we continue to support community sport and recreation across the ward. Recent works at Fotheringham Reserve, including cricket facility upgrades and lighting design improvements, have been well received. This gives local clubs the opportunity to host more activities and events at the reserve.
In May I was proud to attend the official launch of upgrades to the Parkfield Reserve tennis courts. This $850,000 project transformed four northern courts into three high-quality synthetic grass courts and included the installation of 350 lux LED lighting. We also improved fencing, upgraded furniture and added fresh line markings.
Footpath renewal happens annually across our city and this year the program is focussed on Noble Park, Noble Park North, Dandenong and parts of Keysborough. Each year we inspect about 25% of our footpath network and upgrade where needed at a cost of approximately $1.5 million.
Finally, I would like to remind all residents to report dumped rubbish. Each month we receive hundreds of requests to clean up our streets and parks, and we attend to them all. You can report via our website at greaterdandenong.vic.gov.au or phone 8571 1000.
If you would like to talk to me about any local issues, please reach out via email Phillip.Danh@cgd.vic.gov.au or phone me on 0473 482 153.
