Overview

Richardson is a residential suburb in Canberra’s Tuggeranong district, officially gazetted on 5 May 1975. Streets honour writers, particularly women, and the suburb is named after novelist Ethel Florence Lindesay Richardson, known as Henry Handel Richardson. At the 2021 census the population stood at 3,058, with a median age of 36 years and a median weekly household income of $2,043, reflecting the local demographic profile. Families benefit from Richardson Primary School, opened in 1984 with a strong ICT focus.

The local centre and Richardson Oval on May Gibbs Close provide easy access to green space, while the Tuggeranong Homestead heritage site lies nearby on Johnson Drive. A scout hall on Clift Crescent serves local groups. ACTION bus routes 74, 75, 76 and 78 connect residents to Tuggeranong Town Centre and Erindale Centre. The suburb rests on alluvial soil beneath Silurian volcanic rocks, adding subtle geological character.
