Runaway Bay is one of the only shopping centres in Australia where customers can arrive by boat with mooring available on the canal. That will be enhanced with a new deck area.

Centre manager Sharon Gambrill said in January the makeover was an exciting new chapter for Runway Bay.

“We can’t wait to welcome locals and visitors when we progressively open the transformed Centre throughout 2021,” she said.

“The proposed works to the centre will celebrate Queensland’s coastal style with key design elements including soft timbers, oversized planters bursting with greenery and comfy lounge chairs to set the scene.”
