About the draft Richmond Village Master Plan

The draft Richmond Village Master Plan will set out a long-term vision for Richmond Village by enhancing its streetscape and public spaces to improve amenity for residents and visitors, while also respecting and celebrating its significant heritage and history.

The draft Master Plan has been developed so Council can cohesively plan and prioritise all future works in Richmond Village to improve its function, amenity and character. It will ensure Richmond continues to develop as a thriving village, proud of its historic heritage and scenic character, welcoming and accessible for all, and a popular destination for tourists and visitors.

The draft Master Plan has been developed in close consultation with the Richmond Community. It sets out a vision for the Richmond Village based on the following design principles:

1. Country and Truth Telling

2. Environment and Greening

3. Acccess and Linkages

4. Culture and Activities

6. Comfort and Image

The draft Master Plan presents designs for the Village centre . Design will encourage ease of movement and inclusive access for pedestrians and address other connectivity and wayfinding challenges (such as high gutters and uneven surfaces). Road and footpath designs will make it more efficient and easier to navigate for locals and workers, while also accommodating tourists and visitors and addressing the challenges that come with welcoming large numbers of people and vehicles during peak period. The Draft Master Plan also includes plans for interpretive sites that tell the story of the Richmond area's first people, the Mumirimina.
