Casuarina Square has today announced the launch of a significant redevelopment project, with construction commenced on 21 July 2025. Branded under the campaign “Next Is Now,” this milestone marks the next evolution of Darwin’s largest shopping and lifestyle destination.

Designed to enhance customer convenience and deliver meaningful community benefits, the redevelopment will include expanded undercover parking and the Northern Territory’s first Woolworths Direct-to-Boot service.

“The ‘Next Is Now’ campaign reflects our commitment to future-focused progress,” added Dustie Tare, Marketing Manager at Casuarina Square. “It’s about showing our community that positive change is not something to wait for — it’s already happening, and it’s happening here.”

This project forms part of a broader investment in the long-term growth of both Casuarina Square and the Darwin region, driving local job creation, supporting economic development, and reinforcing the centre’s position as a key destination for shopping, dining, and community connection.

“This redevelopment is about creating a more accessible, comfortable, and modern experience for our customers,” said Elysia Billingham, Centre Manager at Casuarina Square. “With construction beginning this month, we’re excited to take the next step in shaping a centre that reflects the evolving needs of the Top End.”

Key Features of the Redevelopment:

• Expanded Undercover Parking – More shaded parking bays will offer greater protection from the elements and improve access all year round.
• Woolworths Direct-to-Boot – Purpose-built infrastructure will enable online grocery orders to be delivered straight to customers’ vehicles — a first for the Northern Territory.
• Revitalised Public Spaces – A fully weather-protected Quarter, enhanced outdoor and communal areas, improved accessibility, and upgraded family-friendly facilities.
• New Dining and Entertainment Options – An expanded mix of retailers in The Quarter, offering more places to eat, shop, and connect.

The redevelopment is scheduled for completion in mid-2026, with Casuarina Square remaining fully operational throughout construction.

Progress updates and community engagement opportunities will be shared regularly via the centre’s digital channels.
