Hoyts will open a new seven-screen cinema complex at Stockland Green Hills in mid-2018.
The new 900-seat cinema will be located within the new entertainment complex, and will form part of the $412 million redevelopment of Stockland Green Hills Shopping Centre.
The new cinema includes powered recliner seating and two Xtremescreens with Dolby Atmos surround sound system.
The complex will include a Hoyts Lux for that extra touch of luxury that offers gourmet food and wine selections with an in-cinema dining service.
“We are extremely excited to welcome Hoyts to the new Stockland Green Hills,” said John Schroder, Stockland Group executive and CEO of Commercial Property. “Hoyts is renowned for putting the customer experience at the heart of their business and the new seven screen Hoyts cinema will offer our customers the best movie-going experience in the region, with all the latest blockbusters available day or night.”
The new cinema will be the 16th Hoyts to open in NSW and the second Hoyts in the Newcastle and Hunter region.
Damian Keogh, Hoyts Group CEO, said they are thrilled to be growing their Hoyts footprint in key regions across New South Wales.
The Stockland Green Hills redevelopment, which commenced in January this year, continues to steam ahead. In October, the centre celebrated its first key milestone opening a new full-line Dan Murphy’s store and a 110-space customer car park.
Upon completion in mid-2018, the centre will more than double in size to around 74,000sqm and will feature the first new format David Jones department store in the Hunter, and around 225 tenancies with a new dining and entertainment precinct that will be the biggest in the region.
The Stockland Green Hills development is estimated to generate more than 2,285 jobs – 1,350 jobs during construction, 1,250 direct, new, full time jobs in retail, customer service and hospitality and an estimated 1,200 indirect jobs for local suppliers and service providers within the regional economy.
