Burwood Brickworks Shopping Centre
Visit Update 2/5/2021
After spending some time checking out the nearby retirement village, I drop by to the shopping centre. It is fairly quiet, inside and outside the shopping centre.
I decide to have a good look of the roof top cafe cum garden called Acre, which I shall review it separately.

It is still fairly new, mainly serving the local community. It is not very big, but has all the right combination of stores, including Woolworth supermarket, Asian grocery, Dan Murphy's, bakery, butcher, eateries, beauty parlour, yoga studio, urban farm, medical clinic and cinemas.
It claims to be the most sustainable shopping centre in the world by aiming to achieve certification.
There is a void in the centre, and the ceiling is a fabulous mural of indigenous design.
I do have an undescribable mixed feeling when I visit the shopping centre.
Return visit. Came for winter lounge and raindeer petting during school holiday. It has been the most green shopping centre filled with plenty plants on most areas and roof top filled with plenty and variety plants. Can find everything we need in this place, groceries, butcher, green shop, massage, nature shop, ice cream shop and of course reading cinemas and cafes on the roof tops.
Definitely recommended.
First visited the information area and then we went on a tour led by (the lead?) architect. The effort used to create a fantastic, sustainable building is incredible. So many featuresrecycled materials, rooftop garden, water saving, recycling etc etc.. You notice how fresh it smells immediately. They have supportive tenants who follow the ideals. Definitely worth a visit for some shopping and eating.Step up to the roof as well
This is the first time I went to this shopping joint. Feels fresh on Saturday morning, not many shops are open just yet. I went to Woolies for a quick shopping trip in preparation for cooking my family lunch.
Get what I need with the help of friendly staff.
The worlds most sustainable shopping center!
Tons of restaurant choices, the best Woolies for miles with a super friendly staff. Dan Murphy’s, a medical center and a super cool Yoga studio. A bonus Ben & Jerry’s ice cream scoop shop open till late daily! They also do ice cream cakes!
And one of the best cinema experiences with Readings Premium cinemas! Oops almost forgot the Acre Rooftop Farm to table restaurant!
Great for young families and small gatherings!
