BELMONT Forum’s $65 million refurbishment is nearing completion with new stores and facilities set to open in the coming months.
The new Coles is set to open on Wednesday, March 7 and more speciality stores, additional rooftop parking – with lift and travelator access into the centre – and a fresh-food precinct will also be added in the coming months to complete the extensive redevelopment project, which started in late 2016.
During 2017, Belmont Forum welcomed new arrivals such as Cotton On, Bed Bath N Table, Novo, Michael Hill, Pandora, Transit, Bras N Things and Connor, joining earlier newcomers Aldi, JB Hi Fi Home and Best & Less.
