Woolworths commenced construction on a new neighbourhood shopping centre in Lake Macquarie on September 23, 2026. The centre is located at 393 Pacific Highway in Belmont North and is set to open in mid-2027. The project repurposes the existing Bunnings warehouse structure, which Woolworths states saved 400 tonnes of steel and 1600 cubic metres of concrete.
