Our vision for Ringwood MAC

The Masterplan vision is that Ringwood is the major urban destination in Melbourne’s outer east.

• Reinforce Ringwood MAC as the principal retail, commercial, community, entertainment and employment focal point of the region.
• Define Ringwood MAC as the most convenient, safe, accessible place in the region.
• Enhance the natural environmental features of Ringwood MAC to distinguish it from other suburban activity centres.
• Establish a true mixed use Centre that promotes high quality urban design.
• Create high quality public spaces that provide for a safe and convenient pedestrian and cyclist environment.
• Provide the infrastructure needed to support the increased number of residents, workers and visitors and mechanisms to fund future infrastructure.
