Greater Dandenong will soon get a new green space thanks to funding from the State Government.
The so-called ‘pocked park’ will be located at 77 Herbert Street in Dandenong, and will include shade, seating and plants for visitors to enjoy.
It’s one of several new pocket parks set to be created across Melbourne.
The State Government provided $15 million in funding for 13 new pocket parks and five off-leash dog parks across Melbourne’s suburbs.
According to the government, each new pocket park is funded up to $1.3 million.
Local councils were invited to nominate sites for the new parks, which were assessed by an independent panel.
