We have an exciting opportunity to upgrade Annettes Place in Richmond.

Before we begin drafting a Concept Design, we want your help to understand the priorities and needs for this park. Share your ideas on what you would like to see in the design for this improved space and take part in planning the future of your local area!

Have your say before 9am on Monday 15 September 2025.

To meet the diverse needs of our growing local population, we are planning on upgrading this space. We want to improve user experience and ensure it accommodates the needs of everyone who uses it, including current and future residents, people who work nearby and visitors.

Project background

The Yarra Open Space Strategy (YOSS) recommends undertaking a major upgrade of Annettes Place to improve functionality and provide a greater range of facilities for our rapidly expanding population. By 2031 it is forecast that the local residential population in this pocket of Richmond will have more than tripled and there will be an additional 41% increase in the local workforce.

The YOSS defines Annettes Place as a small neighbourhood park, catering for the local community within a 300m catchment. This means there are limitations to what can be incorporated in the upgrade and also set requirements for what types of facilities need to be retained from the existing park. The dog off-leash area will remain as it currently is.

We'll also be popping down to the park to analyse park use at different times during the consultation period. Please feel free to come and say hi and ask any questions if you see us there.
