Westfield Penrith, formerly Penrith Plaza, is a shopping centre in the suburb of Penrith in the Greater Western Sydney area of New South Wales, Australia.[3]

The shopping centre opened on 31 March 1971 with Myer as lead tenant and was sold to the General Property Trust (GPT) in April 1971.[1]

In early 2005, GPT reached agreement with the Westfield Group to sell 50% of Penrith Plaza after which it became known as Westfield Penrith.[2][3]

Expansions

In 2005, the centre underwent a $140 million expansion which added 16,000 square metres (170,000 sq ft) including 105 retailers and left the centre with 83,000 square metres (890,000 sq ft) of space.[3]

In November and December 2022, Westfield Penrith debuted a $33 million update including a Coles supermarket and a Holey Moley indoor golf course.[5]
