The carpark of the town centre, which is located adjacent to Springfield Central Station, has also been expanded and can now accommodate about 3000 cars and includes a bus interchange.

The expansion also delivered a new entertainment destination, the Event Cinema Complex which includes Gold Class and VMAX, and dining experience. Dining options in the centre now include the Beach House Bar and Grill and Guzman Y Gomez, Nando’s and Grill’d, Ohayo Sushi and Chocolateria San Churro, among others.

“The centre will provide over 165 specialty stores to match its lifestyle and leisure activity focus as a community hub as well as delivering the convenience and connectivity to the community of south-west Brisbane and the Ipswich region,” said Susan MacDonald, Mirvac’s head of Retail.
