OUR HISTORY

Mac Point has been many things to many people

​

For nearly two centuries, Mac Point has served a multitude of purposes. From humble beginnings as a farm, it has transformed into an abattoir, lumber yard, gasworks, cold store and land fill. Heavy industry, freight, and military operations also left their mark, shaping the site's unique history.

​

The site was of course originally home to the muwinina people.​

​

To bring this fascinating history to life, Mac Point has installed interpretation boards on our fencing along Davey Street and throughout Red Square. These informative displays offer a glimpse into the site's diverse past.
