Some of the streets in Richmond are due for renewal. We will be upgrading a number of the streets in the next three years, with potential of other streets to be upgraded after that. There is an overall plan of the whole area to show how all the work will fit together.
Richmond Street renewal programme
- Narrowing the road to eight metres (currently nine metres)
- Replacing deep gutters with flat channel
- New footpath and grass berms
- A new threshold on Dudley Street at Stapletons Road to highlight Dudley Street as a high amenity street
- A new threshold on Nicholls Street at Dudley Street to highlight Dudley Street as a high amenity street
Trees
We are not removing any trees along Dudley Street.
Due to the age and size of the trees, collectively they protect each other, especially during high winds.
If we remove any of the mature trees within the street it is likely to impact the structural integrity of the remaining trees. We will continue to monitor and maintain the trees along the street.
