HOYTS Cinemas is set to open a new seven-screen complex at Eaton Fair shopping centre in Western Australia. Scheduled for launch in 2027, the development aims to enhance the entertainment offerings of the growing Bunbury region.
The new cinema will feature advanced technologies, including a D-BOX cinema with haptic seating that moves with the action on screen, Xtremescreen cinemas, and a mix of recliner and lean-back seating options. patrons can enjoy snacks and drinks from Treat City and Artie's Bar.
Damian Keogh, CEO and President of HOYTS Group, stated, "Recognising the rapid growth and development of Bunbury and its surrounding areas, we are delighted to introduce a premier cinema experience to WA’s southwest."
Eaton Fair Expansion Plans
Eaton Fair's property developer Citygate is overseeing the expansion, which will include over 100 retailers and a vibrant entertainment precinct. According to Michael Prosser, Citygate General Manager, "Eaton Fair Shopping Centre is growing to include over 100 fantastic retailers, centred around a vibrant entertainment precinct featuring restaurants, a modern playground, and a new premium cinema complex."
The expansion is part of HOYTS' ongoing investment in the Western Australian market. Recent initiatives include the introduction of IMAX with Laser at Carousel and refurbishment plans for ACE HOYTS Rockingham. These efforts underline HOYTS' commitment to delivering state-of-the-art entertainment experiences across Australia.
Construction on the new cinema began last year, with its opening set as the final stage of Eaton Fair's development in 2027. This move is poised to create a significant entertainment hub for the greater Bunbury community, attracting moviegoers back to the cinema.
The new complex at Eaton Fair is expected to contribute significantly to the local economy. Citygate estimates that the cinema will create numerous job opportunities during and after construction. As a result, the development is not only a boost to entertainment but also to local employment.
HOYTS Cinemas' decision to expand in Western Australia reflects the region's growing demand for modern entertainment facilities. The company's investment aligns with its strategy to enhance the cinematic experience across the nation, making it accessible to more Australians.
The Eaton Fair cinema will be a key addition to HOYTS' network, joining other newly enhanced locations to offer premium viewing experiences. This expansion ensures that residents and visitors to Bunbury can enjoy the latest films in an immersive environment.
