Richmond is the seat of the Tasman District Council, located 13km south of Nelson in the South Island of New Zealand, close to the southern extremity of Tasman Bay. The census conducted on 6 March 2006 showed that Richmond's population now exceeds 14,000 permanent residents [http://www.stats.govt.nz] .

Although Richmond lies outside the boundaries of Nelson City, it is part of the Nelson Urban Area for statistical purposes, and is informally considered part of Greater Nelson or the "Top of the South". The two unitary authorities co-operate for tourist marketing purposes via "Latitude Nelson".

Richmond has become an increasingly popular shopping destination due to:

* the absence of parking meters and availability of large free carparks
* the development of Richmond Mall
