I don’t have live browsing access right now, but I can share the latest widely reported context about Macquarie Centre based on publicly known information up to 2024–2025 and point you to where to check for the very latest updates.
Core answer
- Macquarie Centre in North Ryde, Sydney, has been the site of redevelopment plans and market activity led by AMP Capital Shopping Centres (owner/manager). Over the past years, plans have included major redevelopment to expand retail and add mixed-use components, with community and historical ice rink considerations playing a role in discussions. For the most current status (DA progress, approvals, closures or openings), please check the City of Ryde Council planning portal andAMP Capital’s communications.
Key background and recent themes
- Redevelopment plans: The centre has been the focus of staged redevelopment concepts that would expand retail space and introduce mixed-use elements, including potential residential/community space components. These plans have evolved through submissions, council responses, and community engagement processes. For detailed timelines and current status, look for the latest council DA determinations and developer updates. [context reference: general redevelopment discussions and DA submissions reported in trade/media coverage over several years]
- Ice rink and public space: The Macquarie Ice Rink has been a recurring topic in coverage, with proposals historically involving its demolition or replacement as part of broader redevelopment. Community response and petitions have influenced outcomes at various stages. To confirm whether the rink remains in operation or has been relocated/relaced, check local news and Ryde Council notices. [context reference: coverage citing ice rink debates and petitions]
- Key stakeholders: AMP Capital Shopping Centres has been a primary driver, engaging with the City of Ryde Council, community groups, and tenants to shape the redevelopment. Updates from AMP Capital and the council are the most authoritative sources for current plans and timeframes. [context reference: multiple trade and local news items over time]
