Westfield Belconnen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Westfield Belconnen, also known colloquially as Belco Mall, is located in Canberra, Australia in the suburb of Belconnen. The shopping centre is one the largest in Canberra, featuring over 200 specialty stores.
Westfield Belconnen is serviced by ACTION buses. The Belconnen bus interchange is connected by a walkway which leads right into the centre. Westfield has a large carpark, which can be accessed by Benjamin Way. The carpark is on the lakeside, and runs around to the other side of the centre. The regular carpark leads into Myer, whereas the lakeside carpark leads into the centre.
In 2004, a controversy arose when the shopping centre's management restricted the number of locations where ANZAC pins could be sold to one. [1]
