Macarthur Memorial Park (MMP)

Community Engagement Survey

Thank you for taking the time to participate in this survey.

You may not even be aware but Macarthur Memorial Park is the first Sydney community cemetery to be built in fifty years.  The results of this survey will help ensure that the Sydney community and individual groups’ needs, challenges and ideals are understood and considered.  You may not be able to answer all questions but any questions you can respond to will help us build the complete picture.
