Project Overview
Vincent's largest tennis centre and surrounding parkland on Fitzgerald Street is being transformed as the City implements the Robertson Park Development Plan.
The first stage of the plan includes upgrading the tennis centre entrance, constructing four new multi-sport courts, converting 12 synthetic turf and 6 grass courts into hard courts, installing new sports lighting and fencing, widening the central walkway, constructing rain gardens, and installing an integrated stormwater drainage system.
The second stage includes upgrading the dog exercise area and providing a new connecting path along Stuart Street, converting the surplus grass tennis courts along Randell Street into public open space with rain gardens, and installing new nature play and outdoor exercise equipment.

Background
Robertson Park is a well-used space with a rich history and is a vital asset in providing recreational and sporting opportunities for the community.
The Robertson Park Development Plan responds to a need for more flexible public open space in Vincent, while ensuring ageing facilities are renewed. With increased density and a growing population in our inner-city area, access to public recreation and leisure spaces 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 hit-up wall and half basketball court
- Conversion of 12 synthetic turf and 6 grass courts into hard courts
- Upgraded fencing and flood lighting
- Improvements to the dog exercise area
- Improvements to footpaths and park lighting
- Conversion of the surplus grass tennis courts into public open space
- New nature play and outdoor exercise equipment
