Hunter and Gatherer

Q: What does the upgrade entail?

The precinct will be significantly upgraded to better reflect the way shoppers like to uncover new tastes and connect through food.

Key elements of the redevelopment include:

• Temporary closure of the existing H&G precinct from early November 2023 for a full refurbishment 
• Temporary closure of Woolworths on 6 October 2023 to enable its refurbishment
• Extension of the existing H&G precinct to the south to facilitate the new Woolworths, new grocery stores and a new full glass entry 
• Resurfacing and landscaping of the existing H&G precinct car park
• Refurbishment of all ceilings, walls, floors, landscaping, signage, seating and finishes throughout the H&G precinct.

Q. What is the timing for these works?

Work on this exciting development will commence in early November 2023 and is expected to take approximately 12 months.

Q. Will Pacific Epping remain open during the works?

Pacific Epping will remain open and trading throughout construction, however the refurbishment requires the temporary closure of the existing H&G precinct to allow us to undertake these works.

This redevelopment will see some much-loved existing H&G vendors enhance their retail offer, while also providing customers with access to exciting new retailers and products.
