Noble Park has been identified as a priority revitalisation site. This will leverage recent growth and capitalise on new infrastructure to unlock Noble Park’s full potential and attract additional investment, speeding up the social and economic recovery from the impacts of COVID-19.

Noble Park has a long and proud history and a bright future – boasting one of the most culturally diverse populations in Australia.

Just 25km south-east of Melbourne CBD in the City of Greater Dandenong, Noble Park is serviced by the Pakenham and Cranbourne train lines, several bus routes and the Monash Freeway and Princes Highway.

The area is home to about 30% of Victoria’s asylum seekers with Noble Park and surrounding suburbs often a first point of settlement. Noble Park has retained its much-loved village style character, while also seeing substantial investment and growth over recent years.

Recent investments in the area include the new train station and level crossing removal, seeing a new link road connecting two main shopping strips (previously divided by the train line), and a significant investment into Ross Reserve with a new skate park, aquatic centre, sports pavilion, synthetic soccer pitch and an all-abilities playground with Australian-first play equipment.

Our vision for Noble Park

We're committed to a safe, vibrant and accessible community, which is set up to support future generations.

You can download a copy of our vision statement  in PDF or accessible Word formats.

  • A community that has pride in its history, celebrates its diversity and is hopeful about its future
  • A community where all people have access to quality education and meaningful employment opportunities to set them up for their future
  • A connected community where everyone feels safe and welcome, and old and young have opportunities to interact
  • A community that is equipped to meet the changing needs of its residents into the future
  1. Create an environment in the centre that encourages both the growth of local business and attracts people to the area
  2. Prioritise the safety, trust and sense of community of all of our residents
  3. Focus our work, initiatives and investments to be inclusive and reflective of the many different people in our community and celebrate this diversity
  4. Build a ‘green’ and environmentally sustainable Noble Park to the point that we are seen as a leader in this space
  5. Focus on closing the ‘digital divide’ amongst our residents to ensure everyone is able to access the same opportunities
  6. We will strive to engage young people in the design, implementation and ongoing delivery of initiatives that impact them.

    We are also committed to working in strategic partnership with key organisations to drive changes that we cannot develop or implement on our own. More specifically, we will set out:

  7. To advocate for relevant and ongoing support services for all residents, but with a particular focus on vulnerable women and families
  8. To work with industry players, local business and community organisations to drive employment opportunities for Noble Park’s most vulnerable residents, particularly women

You can download a copy of our vision statement in PDF. The file will also be available in accessible Word format in the coming weeks.

Our theory of change

Our theory of change articulates our vision in a series of eight outcomes, explored below.

Our investment decisions are made in alignment with our vision and in contribution to these four outcomes:

Community members have greater awareness of local businesses, what they offer and the quality of their offerings

Local businesses are able to thrive

Businesses are able to collaborate and agree on a set of shared priorities to take forward (e.g. through a Traders Group)

Businesses take greater ownership of their role in the community including:

  • adapting their business models to be more inclusive and accessible
  • focusing on driving social change e.g. through social enterprise

There are more core support services within Noble Park and families are able to access them

The centre provides a community ‘experience’ to its residents with a focus on providing inclusive services and leisure opportunities

There is an increased sense of community connectedness, especially with people from different backgrounds interacting (e.g. old & young; different cultural groups)

People feel physically safe in public spaces and have an improved perception of safety

Services and public spaces in Noble Park are culturally appropriate

Residents are proud of, and celebrate, the cultural diversity in their communities

All individuals feel accepted in the community and have a sense of belonging

We strive to go further than this, and have also established two outcomes that will position Noble Park as a place of innovation and environmental consciousness:

Residents have greater access to essential digital services e.g. free Wi-Fi

Noble Park is a ‘digital village’ – e.g. leveraging data to learn about service usage; people’s movements; gaps in business

There are improved greenery and streetscapes

Renewable energy is increasingly leveraged to power more services, buildings etc.

Noble Park is a demonstration village – showcasing cutting-edge environmental initiatives e.g. community batteries; 100% renewable energies

We are committed to supporting women and young people, two groups of community members that we’ve identified as being the most vulnerable. We commit to outcomes that include:

Young people have a sense of ownership in their community and its direction

Young people are more involved in decision making about the services set up to support them

Young people feel valued in the community

Women can safely access the services they need

Women are supported to seek flexible employment opportunities

Projects funded in Noble Park

The project will revitalise Leonard Avenue through a streetscape upgrade that delivers on the communities’ aspirations to improve paving, lighting, greening and enhanced connections to the Noble Park station and Buckley’s Laneway carpark.

The work will enhance business activity, visitation and improve perceptions of Noble Park by rejuvenating the prominent and aged streetscape. Key outcomes will include improved pedestrian movement and safety, enhanced shopping and dining experiences and new opportunities for people to connect and relax.

This includes improvements such as the delivery of greening, seating, artwork, creative lighting, signage, and cultural activities.

It is intended these elements will improve the vibrancy of Noble Park and help to build a strong and resilient community, with more people opting to shop locally and visit the new improved spaces.

The asphalt artwork aims to calm traffic movements to ensure safe travel for everyone on the road, especially pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users.
