Richmond Oval redevelopment
Consultation has concluded
Richmond Oval
57 Milner Road, Richmond
Update 6 October 2022
Stage One works are progressing despite delays due to inclement weather and delivery of materials. Installation of the furniture and play elements is almost complete and work has commenced on installing a range of rocks and natural materials for retaining, as well as decorative fencing panels along the northern edge. Construction of the new footbridge is being finalised offsite before being installed at the northern side of the Oval closer to project completion. It is expected Stage One works will be completed by the end of November 2022.
Stage Two works will include a new and upgraded grandstand, changerooms, meeting rooms and function area along with carparking and additional recreation elements. Consultants continue to work with the City of West Torrens (CWT) and the West Adelaide Football Club (WAFC) on the planning and concept design of this next stage of works.
On 2 September 2022, a site tour was arranged and attended by consultants, members of the WAFC and a number of CWT staff and Elected Members to inform the design of the project.
The following sites were visited:
- SA Cricket Association Sports Hub, Karen Rolton Oval;
- Campbelltown Memorial Oval Sports Hub, Paradise; and
- Football Federation of SA - State Centre of Football, Gepps Cross.
Consultants will now consolidate feedback from the tour along with comments received from the public consultation undertaken earlier this year, and develop draft concept/preliminary design plan for the next stage of works. This concept/preliminary design plan will be presented to Council in early 2023 for comment.
To meet the growing needs of our community and provide improved, user-friendly recreational spaces, the City of West Torrens has developed a master plan focussed on the redevelopment of Richmond Oval.
The Master Plan aims to provide a sustainable, high-quality public open space which is user-friendly for local residents while also offering multi-user sporting and recreational activities and opportunities.
Key features proposed for the overarching Master Plan include:
- improved accessibility
- activation of community open space including:
- netball courts and 3-on-3 basketball court
- new playground/activity area in the north-eastern corner
- cricket nets plus storage
- toilet facilities in the south-eastern corner
- bike track/running track around the external perimeter of the oval - multi-use oval
- improved pedestrian and cycling access points at Martin and Kingston Avenues

- function area and meeting room(s) for community use.
