Change is coming to Caboolture Square, where there is a proposal to add a new entertainment venue, with a new cinema, gaming arcade, and bowling alley.

In a social media post, the management announced plans for a Deluxe 6 Cinema, 12-lane 10 pin bowling, gaming arcade, and a lounge and bar which will provide food and beverage options for entertainment revellers.
There were locals who welcomed the idea of having a new cinema since the region’s cinema, Morayfield BCC Cinema, already closed in April 2022.
“We need a Cinema there especially because the cinema in the Morayfield Mall closed down,” said one local.
On the other hand, there are some who wanted to see something else that the area doesn’t have, such as a skating rink or a place where older kids can have fun, like a parkour or a ninja park.
“A rollerskating rink, a trampoline place, something more exciting would be good,” said one commenter on the post.
If there’s one more thing that locals wanted to see, it’s the return of Kmart in the shopping centre.
The store was a fixture in the shopping centre for over three decades before it closed for good in June 2021, when its lease at the shopping centre already came to an end.
“It all sounds great but where will they put it all and they should bring Kmart back as that was always popular,” another comment reads.

The new management supports the idea of bringing back the iconic department store, and confirmed that they are looking for community support to try to persuade Kmart to return to Caboolture Square.
The shopping centre is now under new management, after Alceon QLD sold it in May 2022 for $47 million. The group acquired the centre in 2016 from Charter Hall for $27.5m.
