The Macquarie Street is one of the main streets in the city center of Hobart, the capital of the Australian state of Tasmania. It connects the city center with the Southern Outlet (A6), an urban motorway to the south, and the Huon Road ( B64 ), a trunk road towards Huonville. Like its parallel street, the Davey Street, it is a one-way street, in the direction towards the city center.

It begins near the historic Royal Engineers Building, where it is connected with its counterpart Davey Street, the Eastern Outlet (A3 ) and the Brooker Highway (N1). The road has almost its entire length three or four lanes. After leaving the city, it is two lanes in South Hobart.

The Macquarie Street adjacent to the Franklin Square, a large city park. Famous buildings in this street are the Lands Building, where the Department of Primary Industries and Water is housed, the Mercury Building, St Davids Cathedral and the Reserve Bank Building.

Trivia

The Macquarie Street occurs in the Australian version of the game Monopoly.
