Robertson Park Development Plan

Project update

Vincent's largest Tennis Centre and surrounding park on Fitzgerald Street will undergo a major transformation as the City implements the Robertson Park Development Plan.

The first stage focuses on the Tennis Centre which includes refurbishing the courts in line with Tennis Australia standards, installing new floodlighting and fencing, and enhancing the walkways to provide an improved user experience. For detailed updates on the project, please visit the City of Vincent website.

Robertson Park will benefit from an expanded public open space, new nature play and outdoor exercise equipment, lighting, improvements to the dog exercise area, and a public toilet.

Background

Robertson Park is classified as District Open Space in the City’s Public Open Space Strategy, whose purpose is to accommodate a variety of uses. 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, multi-use public open space in Vincent, whilst 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.
