Maitland is the star in a new edition of Monopoly

Maitland City Council has released a Maitland themed edition of Monopoly, featuring iconic landmarks and locations from across the Local Government Area.

Players will buy, sell and trade their way to victory as they explore all that Maitland has to offer including The Levee lifestyle precinct, historic Walka Water Works and others. Some may even find themselves locked up in historic Maitland Gaol.

Maitland Mayor Philip Penfold says, ‘it’s only fitting that Maitland as one of NSW’s fastest growing regional cities has its own version of Monopoly that celebrates our rich history, heritage and culture.

‘Maitland is a fantastic place to live, work and play – and fun initiatives like this spotlight our landmarks and lifestyle including our lively arts community, colourful events calendar, burgeoning culinary scene and boutique accommodation options.

'This edition is a great keepsake for locals and visitors as it retains all the beloved elements of the traditional game, with the added charm that comes from capturing Maitland’s riverside locale and historic locations,’ says Mayor Penfold.

Since its launch in 1935, Monopoly has become a beloved pop culture classic and is a firm fixture in household board game collections across the globe.

Maitland Monopoly is now available for purchase at the Maitland Visitor Information Centre, Maitland Regional Art Gallery and via the MyMaitland website mait.city/MaitlandMonopoly. Click and collect options are also available at select locations.
