Parks Patrol
Richmond Council is currently considering extending Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) that Parks Patrol enforces, with the current orders expiring in September 2026.
Richmond Council's Regulatory Committee approved revised draft Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) for public consultation in February 2026. These orders, which Parks Patrol enforces to address anti-social behaviour and dog control, were subject to a seven-week public consultation that concluded in March 2026. The council is considering renewing the orders for an additional three years.
The current Public Spaces Protection Orders are set to expire in September 2026. The consultation sought feedback on proposals to extend both the anti-social activity and dog control PSPOs. Interim Park Service Manager Matt Ormond presented the report to the Regulatory Committee in February 2026.
