The Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics, together with the Department of Education and Department of Territory Families, Housing and Communities, is delivering improvements to Richardson Park to reactivate the community space.

The improvements will enhance and activate the area for the community and Ludmilla Primary School whilst upgrading the existing field to make it suitable for training.

Project stages

The project is being delivered in stages, with demolition of the derelict and non-compliant buildings completed in 2021.

The following elements of the revitalisation were completed in early 2024:

  • landscaping including grassed areas, trees and activity nodes
  • reconstruction of the playing field
  • earthworks and stormwater drainage
  • services including electrical, water, sewer, telecommunications and CCTV cameras
  • a serviced site for the new ablution block and change room facilities
  • vehicle access to Ludmilla School via Richardson Drive.

Richardson Park Concept

The final package of works includes the building of:

  • ablution blocks
  • change rooms
  • storage areas
  • associated undercover area.

Works are anticipated to commence in July 2024 with completion expected late 2024.

The memorial for Warren “Shadow” Mount is being preserved during the works and will be reinstated when works are complete.
