Celebrate 60 Years of memories and milestones at Westfield Kotara

15 September 2025 - 10 October 2025

Westfield Kotara is turning 60, and the celebrations are just getting started.
Since opening its doors in 1965 as Kotara Fair, later known as Garden City, and today as Westfield Kotara, the centre has been at the heart of the community. For six decades it has evolved with the times while remaining a place where people come together to shop, dine, and connect.

To mark this milestone birthday, we’ll be celebrating in style with exciting events, exclusive offers, and special moments that pay tribute to Kotara’s history while looking ahead to its future. Join us as we honour 60 years of memories and create many more to come.
