Westfield Knox in Melbourne is to add a number of community-based amenities in its latest $355M upgrade.
The investment includes a new swimming school concept, a parking management system with license plate recognition and guidance technology, a 2,000sq m public library, a full-sized basketball court and an upgraded food court.
Kristian Nicholls, Westfield Knox’s Centre Manager, said the community has been the “brains trust” behind the planning of the Living Centre transformation. “Swim schools, basketball courts, libraries and multi-purpose community facilities aren’t things you’d typically associate with your local Westfield centre. The input we’ve received from our community to date has made us think differently about how we can better use and optimise the existing space, so we can mean more things to more people.”
A multi-purpose community space and a mini-major retail precinct will also be added to the existing centre.
