About Macquarie Park

Macquarie Park has evolved into Sydney's premier technology and business precinct, about 15 kilometres northwest of the CBD. This suburb of roughly 11,100 residents combines Macquarie University's campus with corporate headquarters for major Australian and international companies. The Metro Northwest extension has transformed accessibility.

The demographic reflects the business precinct - young professionals, students, and international workers in high-rise apartments clustered around shopping centres and office towers. The university adds vibrancy and a younger population. It's not a traditional suburb - think more Singapore than Strathfield - but for those who work in tech and want to walk to the office, it offers genuine convenience. The evolution continues as residential development expands.

Macquarie Park falls under postcode 2113 and is governed by Ryde Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Ryde electorate.
