Mall Trading Hours

These are the centre’s general hours and apply to most shops. If you need a specific store, bank or service counter, confirm its hours on the store page, because tenants may trade differently.
Saturday, Sunday and Public Holiday Hours
Saturday follows the full weekday hours, 09:00 to 18:00, and is the busiest shopping day of the week.
Sunday hours are shorter, 09:00 to 14:00. Plan grocery runs and banking for the morning, as queues build before closing.
Public holidays follow Sunday hours, 09:00 to 14:00, unless the centre announces otherwise. Around Christmas, New Year and Easter some tenants may close for the day or extend hours for festive shopping, so check before you travel.
Store and Restaurant Trading Hours
Not every tenant keeps to the general mall hours:
- Supermarkets may open earlier or stay open slightly later for grocery shoppers.
- Banks often close earlier in the afternoon and trade reduced hours on Saturdays; ATMs may remain available longer.
- The licensing department follows government office hours and usually stops taking new customers well before closing.
- Restaurants and drive-thrus with their own entrance may trade outside mall hours.
- Pharmacies may keep dispensary hours that differ from the front shop.
Browse the store directory or the restaurants list to open a specific tenant’s page.
Best Times to Visit
- Quietest: weekday mornings shortly after opening, from Tuesday to Thursday.
- Busiest: month-end Fridays and Saturdays, the days before public holidays, and school-holiday afternoons.
- For banking and licensing: arrive near opening time to beat the queues.
- On Sundays: shop early, as the centre closes at 14:00.
