Development Update
We’re transforming Forest Hill Chase to enhance the shopping experience for everyone—customers, retailers, and the local community. With upgrades to the ambience, escalators, and the addition of new and refreshed stores, these changes will keep Forest Hill Chase a vibrant and welcoming destination for years to come.
Escalator Upgrade
We’re excited to share that the escalator upgrade project through the Carpark, Level 1 and Level 2 is now complete ahead of schedule.
Works will begin in early May to upgrade the travelator connecting the Red Carpark to Level 1. During this time, the travelator entrance will be closed.
- To access Level 1, please use the following alternative routes:
- Dual lifts from the Red Level Carpark and Level 1 Mall near ALDI
- Lift and escalators from the Red Level Carpark and Level 1 Food Court
- Lift and ramp from the Red Level Carpark and Level 1 Coles Mall
Stores remain open throughout the works, so you can continue to enjoy a smooth and convenient shopping experience.
Development Application – Basketball Facility
Forest Hill Chase has officially submitted a Development Application (DA) to create a competition-grade, three-court basketball stadium on Level 3 of the shopping centre, in collaboration with Nunawading Basketball and Basketball Victoria. If approved, the basketball stadium will offer training areas, competitive courts, and community spaces, providing a place for both recreational and aspiring professional players to develop their skills. It aims to serve as a go-to destination for sports, fitness, and community engagement.
With the DA now lodged with the local council, we are a step closer to further connecting Forest Hill Chase with our local community and providing local athletes, families, and basketball enthusiasts a dedicated space to engage in a wide range of activities.
