Chatswood: The Parkside Macquarie Park
Developed around Macquarie University and the Epping Road corridor, Macquarie Park grew into a major business and technology precinct in Sydney. The Parkside Macquarie Park lies within a district shaped by offices, research facilities, housing and major arterial roads on the city’s north-western side. Epping Road and Balaclava Road form an important intersection near the university, linking the precinct with neighbouring North Ryde and Ryde. Macquarie University, founded in 1964 and opened to students in 1967, gives the area its academic identity; it is named for Governor Lachlan Macquarie. To the east, Lane Cove National Park follows the Lane Cove River, bringing a long belt of bushland into this heavily developed part of metropolitan Sydney.
