Westfield Doncaster in Melbourne has become the latest of Scentre Group‘s major shopping centres nationally to exceed $1 billion in Moving Annual Total (MAT).
2022 was a landmark year for retailers as Australian consumers went on a national spending spree following the end of Covid-19 restrictions. Six Westfield centres achieved a MAT of $1 billion – Westfield Bondi Junction, Westfield Sydney and Westfield Miranda in NSW, Westfield Chermside and Westfield Carindale in Queensland and Westfield Fountain Gate in Victoria.
The now “magnificent seven” positions Scentre Group as the operator/owner of seven of the 10 highest-performing shopping complexes in Australia.
Donny, as loyal fans call Westfield Doncaster, is a major beauty destination. Leading brand stores include Aesop, Chanel Fragrance & Beauty, Dior Perfume & Beauty, Innisfree, Jurlique, Kiehl’s, L’Occitane and The Body Shop. Major beauty retailers on-site include Myer, David Jones, Mecca, Sephora and Priceline.
Beauty and clinical services also have a significant toehold from Endota Spa to Australian Skin Clinics, Laser Clinics Australia and Clear Skincare Clinic.
Last year, Westfield Doncaster pulled in 14.8 million customers and the centre targets a trade area of close to 750,000 residents.
John Papagiannis, Group Director, Businesses, for Scentre Group noted that over the past 12 months, Westfield Carindale, Westfield Miranda and now Westfield Doncaster attained the $1 billion MAT milestone for the first time.
“The growth of sales across the Westfield platform is due to our sustained focus on driving customer visitation and curating the right mix of brands, in the right locations for our communities.”
