Update: Westfield Chermside responded and have communicated that something is currently in the works.

Their reply: Hi there, you don’t need a petition - we couldn’t agree more! You’ll be pleased to know that plans are already in place for the installation of an indoor play area at Chermside. We are currently in the safety and design stage and will be able to provide an update once approved as to the expected launch date. Kindest, Westfield Chermside

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SIGNED THE PETITION. I really look forward to bumping into some of you when the new play area is up!

As a mother living in the Chermside area, I feel there is a need for an indoor play area that caters to crawling bubs to young school aged children at Westfield Chermside.

The outdoor play area in the eating area is not suitable for all ages, especially little crawling bubs, nor little toddlers. All surrounding shopping centres shame Westfield Chermside with their play area facilities for all ages.

All other big shopping centres in the Brisbane are caters with Westfield North Lakes offering at least 2x free play areas (other 2x in Ikea and at Cafe Crema), Indooroopilly having multiple play areas with 4x free indoor play areas, Westfield Garden City with 2x and the list goes on. Yet, Westfield Chermside only has 1x which is outdoor and does not cater to all ages.

I have personally contacted Westfield Chermside about my disappointment which I know I share with many others. There is also plenty of space, in front of JB Hi-Fi and many other spaces in the shopping centre. Their response was simply that there would be one in the future and to keep up to date by liking their FB page. Thank

Please sign this petition if you believe there should be an indoor play area for children at Westfield Chermside.
