The community facilities within Macclesfield (or “Maccy” as the locals call it) include the CFA, Primary School, Macclesfield Hall and St Hilda’s Anglican Church. The locality, which was named after Macclesfield in England, was briefly the scene of mining activities after gold was discovered in Macclesfield Creek in 1865.
