A VIBRANT COMMUNITY

The Midtown MacPark community has opportunities for you to get involved and connect with others. There are two dedicated Community Development Managers. Together they will work alongside the community to bring a range of programs and events suitable for all-ages and all-abilities, helping residents to meet their neighbours and settle into their new community.

Collaboration is at the heart of community - by working together, we can create a sense of belonging and promote the well-being of all. The Midtown Community Development Managers work together, with residents and stakeholders to provide ways everyone can actively contribute to the growth of a healthy, flourishing, and interconnected community at Midtown MacPark.

Frasers Property Australia and Mission Australia are committed to cultivating a thriving social fabric by supporting Midtown Community to realise the vision and become:

A diverse and united community empowered to build meaningful relationships through a shared sense of belonging.

They have developed a Community Development Strategy to guide their work to achieve this vision. The strategy outlines four phases as Midtown Community develops, with each phase building on the foundation of the one before.

HEALTHY AND ACTIVE LIVING

Inspired by the world’s great urban communities, Midtown MacPark brings a greener more connected way of living. One-third of Midtown will be parks and open spaces. You will also have access to a pay-as-you go gym and pool that will be connected to the future Community Centre.

From cycling and running paths to adventure playgrounds and sports fields, there are plenty of outdoor activities on your doorstep. Take in some peaceful bushland scenery, reserves, and a gated dog park along Shrimpton Creek bushwalk and cycleway. A short walk away is ELS Hall Park which features a kid’s playground, exercise equipment, BBQs, picnic shelters and three large sporting fields. Macquarie University’s Wallumattagal Campus has launched the Bundyari Ngurra (Pron: boodge-ari noo-ra) Walking Track which takes you on a physical and cultural tour, passing many beautiful landmarks and places of interest within the University. This threekilometre circuit loops through remnant native vegetation, home to the protected and endangered Sydney TurpentineIronbark Forest. Explore the Great North Walk and heritage bush trails in the Lane Cove National Park situated only 2.5km from Midtown MacPark.
