Westfield Plenty Valley will open its new entertainment and dining precinct on Thursday.
Some of Whittlesea’s toughest critics have already cast their eyes over the long-awaited expansion, with former AFL star and Mill Park local Brent Harvey recently joining local kids on a tour of the precinct.
The $80 million expansion includes Village Cinemas and 13 restaurants.
Designed around a red gum tree on the site, it will feature a YMCA wellness studio that will also provide occasional care for up to 30 children, a children’s playground, water fountain and event stage.
There will be a range of new retailers, as well as outlets such as the first Italian Street Kitchen in Victoria, TunzaFun, Ena Greek Street Food and Pancake Parlour.
Centre manager Craig Tapping said he was thrilled to welcome customers to the new precinct.
“It is important that Westfield Plenty Valley continues to evolve as the needs of the community change,” he said.
“We asked local residents what they were keen to see at the new Westfield Plenty Valley and we responded by introducing fantastic new dining and entertainment options, including some new names to the area.”
