You know Harbour Town as the place where you can grab new runners cheap as chips and upgrade your wardrobe with savings to spare. And now, the popular outlet centre is levelling up with an $8 million transformation to its Western Mall precinct in the works. 

The Western Mall is the oldest part of Harbour Town, so the upgrade will bring it into the future with a more inviting open-air environment, lush landscaping and a picturesque new fountain. There are also talks of a new food kiosk and a custom-built playground designed in consultation with Harbour Town customers.

“Harbour Town is one of the Gold Coast’s most loved retail destinations, with over ten million people visiting each year, and as that visitation continues to grow, it is important that our centre experience continues to evolve with it,” said Harbour Town Centre Manager, Greg Day. 

“The recent Light Rail announcement is a major step in improving connectivity across the northern Gold Coast, and this investment will help ensure Harbour Town continues to offer a high-quality and welcoming experience as the precinct evolves.”

The precinct will hit refresh from the Tourism Lounge through to Kathmandu, and lead towards Polo Ralph Lauren across the west-to-east crossover mall. Work has commenced and will be delivered in stages so you can still shop at Harbour Town throughout, with the aim to enhance the precinct ahead of the notoriously busy Christmas season.
