Project Overview
Vincent's largest Tennis Centre and surrounding parkland on Fitzgerald Street is being transformed as the City continues to implement its Robertson Park Development Plan.
The first stage includes upgrading the Tennis Centre entrance, constructing four new multi-sport courts, converting 18 synthetic turf tennis courts to hard courts, installing new lighting and fencing, enhancing walkways to provide an improved user experience, and installing drainage infrastructure to better manage stormwater runoff.
Future stages include expanding the public open space along Randell Street, installing new nature play and outdoor exercise equipment, upgrading the dog exercise area, and other landscape improvements.

Background
Robertson Park is classified as District Open Space in the City’s Public Open Space Strategy. The park is a well-used space by the community with rich culture and history and is a vital community asset in providing sufficient community recreational and sporting opportunities.
The Robertson Park Development Plan responds to a need for more flexible public open space in Vincent, while ensuring our ageing facilities are renewed. With increased density, smaller backyards, and a growing population in our inner-city area, access to recreation and leisure provisions is more important than ever.
The Robertson Park Development Plan was endorsed by Council in September 2021.
The Development Plan includes:
- New Tennis Centre entrance
- Four new multi-sports courts
- A dual-use tennis hit-up wall
- Conversion of 18 synthetic turf tennis courts to hard courts
- Upgraded fencing and flood lighting
- Reduction of number of tennis courts
- Expanded public open space (convrted from grass tennis courts)
- Upgraded playground and outdoor exercise equipment
- Improvements to the dog exercise area
- Improvements to footpaths and park lighting
