Big news for local families… a brand-new Macca’s is coming to Chatswood East in 2026. The new fast food restaurant is set to bring a fresh spot for everything from quick coffees to after-school treats. With construction about to begin, this is one development to watch closely!
McDonald’s Australia has announced it will soon begin construction on a new restaurant at 18–22 Smith Street, Chatswood East. It’ll be right across the road from the huge Bunnings near Eastern Valley Way.
The project includes:
- Over $7.8 million invested in construction
- An additional $4.5 million in real estate and operations
- Creation of more than 160 jobs across construction and restaurant roles
It’s a major investment for the area, with both short-term construction roles and longer-term employment opportunities for locals.
Alongside construction, McDonald’s is currently recruiting across a range of roles in the Chatswood area, including crew members, baristas, management roles and maintenance positions.
“McDonald’s Chatswood East is committed to playing an active role in the local community through providing jobs, training and development opportunities, as well as supporting local causes and groups that are important to our customers and people. We look forward to serving up our great-tasting, great-quality menu once the restaurant opens later this year.” – Colin Glynn, Regional Director for McDonald’s NSW
What to expect from the new McDonald’s…
This won’t be your average Macca’s. The Chatswood East location is set to feature a range of modern upgrades designed for convenience and comfort.
Planned features include:
- Dual-lane drive-thru
- Dedicated partner delivery room
- McCafé
- PlayPlace for kids
The restaurant will also include sustainability features, such as solar panels and a heat-recovery water system, to help reduce its environmental impact.
McDonald’s Chatswood East is opening late 2026
While an exact opening date hasn’t been confirmed, the new Chatswood East Macca’s is expected to open later this year.
Once complete, it’s likely to become a go-to for busy families, local workers and anyone needing a quick bite, coffee or kid-friendly stop.
