Opening date for Bay Central Woolooware shopping centre confirmed

Australian developer, Novm, has announced that its Bay Central Woolooware shopping centre, part of the billion-dollar Woolooware Bay Town Centre in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire, will officially throw open its doors for trading on Wednesday 22 November 2023.

On completion Bay Central Woolooware will include 60 stores, including a gym, childcare centre, medical precinct, two full-line Woolworths and Aldi supermarkets, Dan Murphy’s – all three of which will be open and trading from 22 November with a range of other retailers – and a waterfront dining precinct.

Bay Central Woolooware forms a central component of Novm’s billion-dollar Woolooware Bay Town Centre and resort-style living project set across a 10-hectare site on the shores of Woolooware Bay in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire.

The 18,000 sqm retail centre is being delivered as part of the fourth and final stage of the development, the first stage of which broke ground in 2014.

Delivered in partnership with established Australian developer, Capital Corporation, Stage Four at Woolooware Bay also includes 12 commercial suites and 245 residential apartments set over four buildings above the centre.

A 71-key Quest hotel, also located in Stage Four, was recently purchased by the NRL for $21.85M.
