About Marmong Point

Marmong Point is a small lakeside suburb in the City of Lake Macquarie, New South Wales, situated on the western shore of Lake Macquarie about 23 kilometres west-southwest of Newcastle and 5 kilometres north of Toronto. With a population of 765 people recorded in the 2021 Census across a compact 0.7 square kilometre area, it is a tightly settled waterfront community. The suburb's name derives from an Aboriginal word meaning 'low water' or 'swampy water', reflecting the area's historic connection to the lake's edge.

The suburb is bordered by Booragul and Woodrising and benefits from proximity to Lake Macquarie High School and local shops in Toronto. Water-based recreation — including boating, fishing and swimming in Lake Macquarie — is central to life here. The suburb suits families, retirees and those seeking a peaceful semi-urban retreat within commuting range of Newcastle.
