Last year we asked for your feedback on our proposal to close the section of the road on Charlotte Street outside the Richmond Library, to create a small pocket park.

We received lots of interest including 256 responses to our survey, a petition opposing the proposal and a number of emails from residents. The results were very positive in favour of the park with:

• 68% agreeing to the proposal
• 25% objecting and
• 7% were unsure.

Council has now considered the findings from the Stage 1 Consultation and Council staff are progressing with a concept design for the proposed park. We will then undertake another round of community consultation on the design in August 2023.
