A once struggling shopping centre recently rejuvenated north of Brisbane is mere months away from having a brand new cinema complex that promises “massive new screens and cutting edge immersive sound, with a choice of extra spacious standard seats or full recliners”.

Morayfield Shopping Centre management have confirmed Leda Holdings together with Limelight Cinemas are building a “state-of-the-art cinema complex” from the ground up.

Expected to welcome patrons in September, it is touted as a complete departure from the previous Birch Carroll & Coyle product.

According to management, the purpose-built seven-screen Limelight development will transform the space into a “modern and stylish entertainment hub with all new seats, screens and sound, as well as casual dining and beverage options and private party spaces”.

The offer will be underpinned by two gold cinemas with full recliner seats and food and beverage service to the seat, along with two large format XD cinemas featuring “massive new screens and cutting edge immersive sound, with a choice of extra spacious standard seats or full recliners”.

“This partnership is a coming together of the future of cinema entertainment in shopping centres at a time that customers are eager to resume entertainment activities post the height of the pandemic” Morayfield Shopping Centre Centre manager Ian McCosker said.

“We’ll deliver a superior cinema experience and a much stronger value proposition to our growing customer base.

“We know from our research that customers are seeking a convenient, comfortable, and well-priced cinema offering in the local area and we intend to deliver.

“We are also looking to secure interest from an entertainment retailer to amplify the mix, ensuring our valued customers aren’t required to travel further afield for a complete leisure experience.”

It comes after a concerted boost for new outlets at the centre last year following a dismal period where near half of it sat empty for months.

The new addition should prove popular in what is one of the state’s fastest growing regions.
