In the early 1960s, a portion of the Smithfield Magazine area, no longer in use, and was sold by the government. This section of the former munitions factory, originally established in the early 1940s, was repurposed for development. By 1964, MacDonald Reid Pty Ltd had transformed the land into the MacDonald Park hamlets, contributing to the expansion of the area with new residential subdivisions.[2]
