The $100 million revamp of Scentre Group-owned Westfield Hurstville in southern Sydney has begun.

The redevelopment includes the introduction of major and mini-major retailers including Woolworths, Big W, JB Hi Fi Home, and Rebel.

The existing centre will be refurbished and feature new floor finishes, lighting, and ceiling treatments, as well as new furniture and soft furnishings.

The Westfield managed car park will be upgraded with the introduction of a ticketless parking system that includes parking guidance technology.

A key feature of the redevelopment will be the new rooftop alfresco dining precinct adjoining the entry to a refurbished and modified Event Cinema which will offer a VMAX screen experience.

“Westfield Hurstville services a trade area of over 329,000 people and receives on average 17.8 million annual customer visits.We are delighted to announce this redevelopment that will deliver exciting new retailers, improved parking and a vibrant rooftop dining precinct,” said Linda Hurst, centre manager, Westfield Hurstville.

“We expect the project will be welcomed by the local community and will bring a fresh new look to Westfield Hurstville. We look forward to sharing updates about the construction in the coming months,”Hurst said.

The construction program will start immediately and is expected to continue until late 2015.
