About the Association

The Eastwood-Macquarie District Association is the local organisation representing the suburbs of Eastwood, Marsfield, and Macquarie Park.

Our purpose is to protect the wellbeing of residents and their families, combat social isolation and loneliness, provide opportunities for local businesses to thrive, and to ensure the voice of our community is heard by those in power.
