About Marmong Point

Marmong Point is a small lakeside suburb in the City of Lake Macquarie, New South Wales, situated on the western shore of Lake Macquarie about 23 kilometres west-southwest of Newcastle and 5 kilometres north of Toronto. With a population of 765 people recorded in the 2021 Census across a compact 0.7 square kilometre area, it is a tightly settled waterfront community.

The suburb is bordered by Booragul and Woodrising and benefits from proximity to Lake Macquarie High School and local shops in Toronto. Water-based recreation — including boating, fishing and swimming in Lake Macquarie — is central to life here. The suburb suits families, retirees and those seeking a peaceful semi-urban retreat within commuting range of Newcastle.
