UDIA are supportive of the aims of the strategy to transform Macquarie Park into a diverse innovation and collaboration district, increasing the areas attractiveness as a place to do business, study and invest in. However, UDIA believes that the Draft Strategy as exhibited fails to grasp the opportunity that revitalising Macquarie Park presents to the region, Greater Metropolitan Sydney and to the whole state. Macquarie Park is a strategically important centre with growing employment opportunities, a world class University and teaching hospital, a regional shopping centre and in close proximity to the CBD and northern and north-western suburbs through the state’s investment in the Northwest Metro.
