    Creating community change.

    The first of its kind in Australia, The Macquarie Business Park Partnership represents an innovative approach to overcoming community disadvantage. The efforts of the Partnership are focused on the neighbouring suburb of Ryde, where most children start school without attending formal preschool care, and one third speak English as a second language. Many of these children lack the skills and knowledge crucial for starting school ready to learn to read and help their children to keep up with their peers. They are much more likely to leave school early, without the education and experience needed to find stable employment. Almost 15% of 15-19 year-olds in Ryde are out of work – well above the NSW average.

    The Macquarie Business Park Partnership responds to these challenges by investing in 2 key areas: early childhood development and the transition from school to work/further study.

    The committee consisted of senior executives and CEOs from the corporate members of the Partnership and was responsible for driving the engagement and helping leverage corporate resources and people to overcome these challenges.
