Kids gardening workshop

A fun morning outdoor activity hosted by the Royal Botanic Gardens where little ones got their hands dirty while learning about gardening.

Kids playdate

A playdate was held for all little adventurers and their parents. At this event, children played at the playground next to our Darcy St. Project Café, while parents connected and built relationships over a coffee provided by us. This was an exciting opportunity for families to meet others at Midtown MacPark.

Residents morning tea

We celebrated the opening of the first stage of Midtown MacPark in early April with a special event attended by Federal Housing Minister, Julie Collins, NSW Housing Minister Rose Jackson, as well as Frasers Property Australia CEO Cameron Leggatt and Mission Australia CEO Sharon Callister. The event included a morning tea where guests could mingle and celebrate this major milestone.

Kokedama workshop

The Kokedama workshop hosted by the Royal Botanical Gardens was a great success. Participants learned how to create lush hanging moss balls of Japanese origin, which made perfect 'housewarming' gifts. The event was an enjoyable experience, and the hanging moss balls now adorn many new homes.

Neighbourhood Walk & Pet Playdate

Residents have been enjoying this monthly walk along the Shrimptons Creek where they get to know each other as well as visit some of the local parks and amenities.

Community Garden Working Bee

A great working bee session with the Royal Botanic Gardens Community Greening Program. Participants were taught the tricks of the trade for growing herbs, fruits and vegetables, and enjoyed fresh produce at the Midtown MacPark Community Garden.

Community Planning Session

We had a group of residents gathered to share their hopes and vision for the kind of community they want Midtown MacPark to be. It was great to hear their diverse ideas and dreams for the new community.

Summer Picnic

After our Community Planning Session, we enjoyed a vibrant Summer Picnic. This joyful gathering highlighted the friendly and inclusive nature of our diverse community, fostering connections that will flourish in new community at Midtown MacPark.

Handmade Christmas Decoration Workshop

The Midtown community enjoyed a festive activity making their own handmade Christmas decorations from easy to find materials. Just in time for the joyous season!

Neighbourhood Walk, Pet Playdate & BBQ

On the day, the Midtown team along with the local communities had a wonderful walk along the Shrimptons Creek Walking Track, exploring the local ELS Hall Dog Park with our furry friends. After the walk, we enjoyed a delicious BBQ lunch at Midtown Community Garden. It was a fantastic event, and thank you to everyone who joined us on the day.

Story Time at Livvi’s Place

The Midtown Community Bus picked up parents/careers and children from Macquarie Uni Station to attend a enjoyable morning session with storyteller Nylan at Livvi's Place for a Story Time hosted by City of Ryde Council. It was an inclusive hour of craft, stories, friends, songs, and fun for everyone to enjoy.

Neighbourhood Cultural Walk & Morning tea

Local communities came together for a delightful cultural experience as they gathered to take a leisurely walk along the Budyari Ngurra Walking Track, while took a break together to enjoy a refreshing morning tea afterwards.

The Great Separation Screening

In partnership with Macquarie Uni, we showcased this documentary which highlights the importance of connection and reducing loneliness in our communities.

Kids Gardening Workshop

In partnership with the Royal Botanic Gardens Community Greening Program, we ran an interactive workshop with kids where they got to build their own herb garden and make flat bread using herbs from the Midtown Garden.

Stone Painting Workshop

For a fun school holiday activity for kids we partnered with a local artist who taught kids how to paint fun images on stones that brightened up the garden.

Composting and Worm Farming Workshop

A great workshop with ‘The Veggie Lady’ – Toni Salter, teaching us how to create a compost and worm farm bin at home so residents can use compost and worm juice to fertilise their gardens at home.

Your dedicated Community Development Team

At Midtown, we are fortunate to have two dedicated Community Development Managers, one from Mission Australia Housing and the other from Frasers Property Australia. Together, they represent a new paradigm for building a strong, resilient, and healthy community that brings together residents from diverse socio-economic backgrounds in a truly integrated setting. Their commitment lies in innovative approaches to create housing diversity, promote social inclusion, and foster economic participation. 

Collaboration is at the heart of their core values, providing opportunities for all residents and stakeholders to actively contribute to the growth of a healthy, flourishing, and interconnected community at Midtown.By working together, we can create a sense of belonging and ensure the well-being of everyone involved.
