Background Information

Hampden Park, a central Robertson community space, offers soccer, cricket, tennis, a playground, skate park, half-basketball court, and walking tracks.

Council's Community and Recreational Facilities Strategy and Robertson Village Place Plan both identify the need for a concept plan and masterplan for Hampden Park. These plans aim to guide the development and activation of the park, including a combined skate park, pump track, and basketball/multipurpose hardcourt facility.

The proposed masterplan incorporates actions 2.2.4 and 5.2.4 from the Robertson Village Place Plan, which is located in the Document Library on this page.

Previous Consultation

The development of the masterplan has been based on Council’s review of the community and internal consultations, as well as relevant Council strategies that guide the development and implementation of community and recreational facilities within the Shire.

The Concept Masterplan for Hampden Park was developed with community consultation held from Monday 16 September to Monday 14 October 2024.

From 16 September 2024 to 14 October 2024 Council conducted community consultation as the first step in developing a concept Masterplan for Hampden Park. Consultation actions undertaken included the Participate Wingecarribee page with an on-line survey and on-site meetings with key stakeholders including:

  • Robertson Public School
  • Robertson Soccer Club
  • Robertson Community Association

From the consultation 19 submissions were received from 502 visits to the website. A summary of the community feedback is provided in the attachment reports in the Document Library on this page.


From both the on-line feedback received and meetings and communications with key stakeholders the

following themes emerged from the consultation:

  • Play Facilities Upgrade: Broad enthusiasm for a pump track, expanded skate park, and revitalised playground, including options for basketball, netball, and natural play areas to engage all age groups.
  • Enhanced Amenities: Requests for improved seating, weather-protected tables, accessible pathways, a family friendly café, BBQ area, and upgraded restrooms closer to play areas.
  • Parking and Access: Mixed opinions on adding hard parking areas, with some preferring current street parking while others suggest improved pathways and access points.
  • Dog-Friendly Spaces: Interest in creating more areas suitable for dog-friendly activities.
  • Tourism & Community Benefit: Support for positioning the park as an inviting stopover for travellers, enhancing Robertson’s appeal with amenities similar to nearby parks like McDonald Park, to support both local and visitor engagement.
  • Emergency Resources: A suggestion to include a designated sandbagging station with a sheltered concrete pad, lighting, and vehicle access for community emergency preparedness.
