Overview

Richardson is a family‑friendly suburb in Canberra’s Tuggeranong district, gazetted on 5 May 1975 and bounded by Johnson, Ashley and Isabella Drives. Streets honour writers, particularly female authors, and the suburb takes its name from novelist Ethel Florence Lindesay Richardson. At the 2021 Census it housed 3,058 residents, with a median age of 36 years and a median weekly household income of $2,043, reflecting a stable, predominantly Australian‑born community.

Local life centres on education and recreation: Richardson Primary School (opened 1984) and its preschool sit on May Gibbs Close, while the Richardson local centre, oval and a scout hall provide easy‑going amenities. The historic Tuggeranong Homestead is accessed off Johnson Drive, and several ACTION bus routes (74, 75, 76, 78) link the suburb to Tuggeranong Town Centre, Erindale Centre and nearby neighborhoods.
