Stretching from George Street to Macquarie Street, MP District transforms Sydney’s most iconic civic centre – Martin Place – into a vibrant cultural corridor.
A brand-new District emerging as part of the NSW Government’s Uptown District Acceleration Program, MP District is more than a destination, it is your culture concierge bringing the area to life.
With its sweeping natural amphitheatre and historic buildings, MP District offers a unique city backdrop for major events, activations, and public gatherings. From your morning coffee on your way to work, to visiting on the weekend with family and friends, MP District is where timeless heritage meets contemporary culture. A proud steward of Sydney’s heritage, this area has always been an evolving place of energy and connection.
More than your 9-5, MP District is a solace to enjoy some of the city’s best hospitality, world-class entertainment, pop-up art, fashion, history, events or watch laws come to be. Born from the shared vision among business owners, MP District is a collaborative reimagining of Martin Place. Once seen primarily as a retail and business hub, MP District invites you to stay, explore and return to experience all there is on offer.
To help curate the ultimate MP District experience, a new website will feature a cultural concierge service. Visitors can use the bespoke digital tool to explore the tailored day-to-night itineraries and activity trails or choose their own adventure. Whether it’s a quick bite between meetings, a gallery visit that leads to a matinee theatre performance, retail therapy capped off with a sunset cocktail, or late-night dining and live music.
Every trip into MP District offers a diverse journey through industries and unique experiences, flipping the script on Sydney’s CBD.
Janson Hews, MP District President said: “MP District is more than a place to pass through, it’s a precinct to linger in, connect and return to. We’re proud to unveil a fresh vision for MP District that celebrates the rich heritage of Martin Place while looking boldly to the future.”
Located on the traditional lands of the Gadigal people, the precinct is home to some of the city’s most historic buildings and newest developments. These include the 151-year-old General Post Office (GPO), the State Library of NSW, the Parliament of NSW and the new Sydney Metro Martin Place precinct. MP District members include the likes of Theatre Royal Sydney, Centro 86, Museums of History NSW, The International, and 1 Elizabeth which sits above Martin Place’s new Sydney Metro station.
