Westfield Tuggerah is more than a shopping destination, it's a hub for community connection and local opportunity. With several initiatives designed to bring people together and support local causes, Westfield Tuggerah encourages the whole community to get involved.

The Community Desk

The Westfield Tuggerah Community Desk is a space dedicated to keeping the community informed and connected by allowing community groups and charities to be able to discuss their organization and bring awareness to local shoppers. It can be stationed in a few different part of the centre for a week, a day or a weekend depending availability.

The Community Donation Box

This box provides a simple yet impactful way for members of the community to give back. Supporting rotating local charities and initiatives, this box helps fund programs and services that benefit people right here in Tuggerah. Each organization collects different things but some examples could be non-perishable goods, kids toys, clothing and more. This box can be found on level 2, near Max Brenner starting this June. Please stop by and discover what organization you can show your support to.

Busking & Stage Performances

Creativity is also celebrated here at Tuggerah. Local performers can busk in our outside dining precinct or showcase their dance and performance skills on the centre stage. It’s a wonderful opportunity for artists to shine and for visitors to enjoy live, local entertainment.

Community Gift Wrapping

During peak gifting seasons such as Mother's Day and Christmas, the Community Gift Wrapping Station offers a convenient way to have presents beautifully wrapped while supporting a good cause. Run by local volunteer groups and charities, the station raises funds through gold coin donations—all of which go directly back to the community.

From giving back to expressing creativity, Westfield Tuggerah proudly supports and celebrates the vibrant spirit of its local community.
