Introducing South Australia’s newest dining & entertainment precinct

Thousands come together to experience Adelaide’s new social destination

Today the doors opened to the newest Westfield dining and entertainment precinct in South Australia. Westfield Tea Tree Plaza’s $50 million redevelopment features nine new restaurants and first-to-market HOYTS LUX cinemas. It is delivered by Scentre Group – owner and operator of Westfield in Australia and New Zealand – and joint venture partner, AMP Capital Shopping Centre Fund.

A milestone for the Westfield portfolio in South Australia, the new indoor-outdoor dining and entertainment precinct will see the centre transform from a traditional shopping centre into a living centre. The centre now offers the complete retail, dining and entertainment experience for the community to discover and enjoy, all in one place.

Inspired by the nearby Adelaide Hills wine region, the precinct’s natural and unique design is brought to life with light-filled green space, water features, a fire-pit and dedicated kids play zone, making it a vibrant and welcoming gathering place for the community.

Catering to an audience passionate about eating out and socialising with family and friends, it offers a range of new-to-SA restaurants, including The Rockpool Group’s The Bavarian, Schnitz and Bangkok Boulevard Thai. Other new and returning retailers include a new-concept TGI Friday’s, Grill’d, local favourite Caffe Primo, Zitto and more.

In addition to the precinct’s diverse restaurant mix, Westfield Tea Tree Plaza today delivers a 12-screen cinema offering and South Australia’s first HOYTS LUX – complete with a bespoke dine-in menu created by Manu Feildel and powered recliner seats across all its cinemas.

“Westfield Tea Tree Plaza is a much-loved landmark in the Northern Adelaide area, with the centre operating for over four decades. The investment in the centre is as much about continuing its unique legacy as it is evolving its current retail, dining and entertainment offer to keep up with the needs and demands of the community. We know it will be a place the people of Adelaide will continue to enjoy for years to come”, says Westfield Tea Tree Plaza Centre Manager, Lachlan Monfries.

AMP Capital Shopping Centre Fund Manager Conrad Sinclair said: “On behalf of our investors in Tea Tree Plaza, AMP Capital is pleased to be part of the development at the centre, with the addition of the dining precinct and improved Hoyts LUX offer improving the centre for shoppers and investors alike.

“We are long term investors in South Australia and will continue to aim to provide the community with world class retail and dining amenities for all to enjoy”, Mr Sinclair continued.

A hub for the local community, the Tea Tree Plaza centre has been operating for over 45 years. The new dining and entertainment precinct will complement the centre’s existing offer which features 250 retailers, including Myer, Big W, Coles, Kmart, Target and Woolworths.

To celebrate the dining and entertainment precinct’s grand opening, Westfield Tea Tree Plaza has commenced four days of festivities across the entire centre. From live music to kids entertainment including a PJ Masks Immersive Zone to a live art exhibition, free offers and more, there’s something for the whole family to enjoy at the opening of Westfield Tea Tree Plaza this weekend.
