Ambitious expansion of Eaton Fair to be finished by Christmas 2025

Nearly a year after receiving its final development approval, Eaton Fair Shopping Centre is gearing up for its most ambitious expansion yet — with work expected to be finished before Christmas next year. Last July, the more-than $80 million expansion received the green light, with early essential works having already started. The expansion is set to include new retail outlets, a long-awaited cinema, a children’s playground, and new residential apartments. Citygate Properties general manager Michael Prosser said further demolition works were expected in around eight weeks, with full construction planned to start in October. “The addition of new retail outlets and entertainment venues will propel Eaton Fair’s offerings to over 100 shops, promising a diverse and enriching shopping experience,” he said. “We’ve had a number of large international brands commit to leases of the centre since last year. “At this stage we are not able to announce who they are - but some of them will be new retailers to the South West, and we will be able to announce them when the building is under construction. “The landscape of Eaton Fair will be further enriched by the introduction of additional residential apartments overlooking the vibrant town square.” Mr Prosser said the development is designed to accommodate events and festivals all year-round. The town square will infuse the precinct with a dynamic energy that encompasses relaxing areas and a children’s playground surrounded by eateries. “Award-winning Australian-owned company United Cinemas have committed to opening an exciting eight-screen cinema complex, set to elevate the entertainment landscape of Eaton Fair to unprecedented heights,” he said. “Embracing a gold class standard, the cinema promises in-theatre dining and deluxe recliner seating, ensuring an unparalleled cinematic experience for patrons.”
