Westfield Tuggerah is a shopping centre located at Tuggerah on the Central Coast of New South Wales approximately 5 km south of the Wyong CBD. The complex was constructed in 1995. The centre completed a large upgrade in 2005 and is now host to 245 stores plus an 8 cinema Greater Union complex, including Senstadium seating. It is currently the second largest shopping centre on the Central Coast after Erina Fair. The Centre is also home to the Tuggerah branch of the Wyong Shire Council Library system.

Design and layout

Originally a single storey shopping complex with roof-top and extensive ground level car parking, in 2006 several second-storey stores were opened including the ALDI supermarket.

In 2008, Wyong Shire Council approved plans for a $75 million extension to create a full two-level mall. The expansion will add a Kmart and 40 other stores and include an additional 678 parking spaces. When complete it will bring total retail space to 99,000 square metres. Construction is expected to start in mid-2009 and be completed by late 2010.

In September 2009, Myer announced that a new store will be opening in the centre by the end of 2013. The store will be two levels and approximately 12,000 square meters.

Access

Rail

It is approximately 200 metres from CityRail's Tuggerah station, on the Newcastle and Central Coast line. The station is serviced by trains which run between Sydney and Wyong and Newcastle, as well as local trains starting at Gosford.

Road

Westfield Tuggerah is located adjacent to a major Tuggerah / Wyong exit from the F3 Freeway.

Bus

Westfield Tuggerah is serviced by many bus routes operated by Busways, Red Bus Services & Coastal Liner Coaches.

History

The land that Westfield Tuggerah occupies was a vacant paddock with no houses or buildings around it until 1995 when it was turned into a major shopping centre. The centre opened as a single-story complex on 19 October 1995.

Westfieled Tuggerah is credited with commencing the commercial redevelopment of the Tuggerah area, including Tuggerah Business Park and other similar commercial zones

A second level was added in 2006. In completing the extension, a man was electrocuted and killed during October 2004. His death caused the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry to attack work safety laws, claiming this was another unneeded death on the worksite.

The upgraded center now contains 245 stores, including major retail chains and supermarkets like Woolworths, Coles, David Jones, Big W as well as most major fast food retailers. It is the second largest shopping mall in the region compared to Erina Fair.
