STAGE 2 OPENING: THE CENTRE OF FOOD, FUN, FASHION AND FAMILY IN THE SOUTH WEST
September 14, 2023
The stage two opening of the highly anticipated Busselton Central redevelopment will kick-off with an action-packed weekend of free family fun over Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 September.
Busselton Central will welcome a suite of new specialty retailers, entertainment hot spots and food and beverage offerings over coming months to mark the next chapter in Busselton Central’s transformation.
On Friday 22 September Timezone, Reading Cinemas and Connor will officially open doors ahead of the weekend’s festivities.
There is no shortage of family fun to get stuck into over the launch weekend celebrations; a great way to start the Spring school holidays.
A free Community Arts Program will be hosted by local artists in the Community Arts Space near Cotton On. The program includes watercolour painting, live print workshops, mural designing, colouring in and community story collections.
The fun will keep flowing throughout the whole centre with roving Paw Patrol characters, glitter artists, mini golf by Par 3 and face painting. Crowds of all ages can also take a quiet moment at origami workshops, or check out the 3D cloud art installation by South West Artist, Helen Seiver.
Plus, there will be plenty of chances to win prizes across the opening weekend!
Check out all the details for the opening weekend below and get ready for a weekend dedicated to celebrating the heart of Busselton.
