No - Target is literally directly upstairs from Big W.
There is no Kmart, as the 24 hour Kmart in Blacktown is across the road. And constantly looks like shit.
It has been bought by Woolworths.

Everyday Rewards Extra changesâŚgreat that it is here to stay, but reduced benefits and increase to cost 
Great news, Everyday Extra is here to stay. However, weâre making some changes as we roll out the program more broadly.

Your monthly 10% Extra Discount will continue to be available to use in-store at Woolworths and BIG W. It will no longer be available to use online (including Pick up and Direct to boot orders).
*⢠*
Extra Points
Youâll collect 2x Everyday Rewards points° on every shop at Woolworths and BIG W, both in-store and online, instead of 3x Everyday Rewards points.
*⢠*
Annual subscription fee
The price of your annual subscription will increase from $59 to $70. This will apply from your next annual renewal date after 1 July 2023.

What is this? People pay for Everyday Rewards benefits?
get onboardâŚthe more you spend @ Woolies & Big W, the more points you get which can translate into Qantas Frequent flyer pointsâŚWe saved the joining fee may times overs in discounts and got ourselves a few interstate trips since joining last yearâŚpays to be loyal to one supermarket chainâŚas long as you recognise when to stop buying and not just buy things for points. In one instance with Everday Rewards, we bought 2 new ipads (something we were in the market to do anyhow) and cos they had a 20* offer on apple gift cards we got 40,000 Qantas Frequent Flyer points

Youâre paying for extra Everyday Rewards points with this scheme, amongst other things. I was with Woolworths Mobile, got 10% off one shop per month.
To be honest, I am tempted, given I do most of my shopping at Woolies and Big W, and that I do prefer Everyday Rewards to Flybuys. But $70 a year for thatâŚnot quite sure.
Yeh I get the 10% off each month with my Everyday Insurance.
After decades of free parking, Westfield Knox in Melbourneâs east will introduce paid parking from June 8, to coincide with the opening of the next stage of the shopping complexâs redevelopment, including 20 new stores and a new NBL basketball court.
Under the new system, customers will get the first three hours of parking free, or four if they are a Westfield Plus member. Westfield Plus members will receive free parking if they enter after 6pm, and exit before 6am. Staff will get the first four hours of parking free, before being charged $5 a day.
Some staff and shoppers were not happy with the changes.

Now that is fucking disgusting.

yep! They know that the majority of the staff are at the bottom of the barrel in terms of pay and they still expect them to pay for parking.

I have to pay to park when I drive to work. And a hell of a lot more than $5 too.

The new parking fee affects everyone who works at Westfield Knox, including shopping centre management, security, store owners and their employees.
I reckon some of them will be forced to travel by bus to work instead.

Oh well, itâs nothing new. Most car parks in the country are paid parking now.

They are really making sure people donât shop there. I avoid Eastland for the paid parking, now to avoid Knox, still plenty of other shopping centres around with free parking.

Chadstone do not charge for parkingâŚWestfield seem to be the greedy ones
You usually get 2-3 hours free⌠thats more than enough time for me.
And I think you get an extra 1-2 hours if you have been to the movies and validate your cinema ticket.
Hospitals and airports are the greediest of them all for paid parking.

Westfield have probably seen dollar signs and gone after it. Staff shouldnât be charged really, but at least at a discounted rate?
Hospitals shouldnât be charging that much, if at all. That is obscene

No it isnt - lots of people have to pay to park their car in order to work.
Thats not necessarily a bad thing
Carparks are an expensive, inefficient use of land - minimising the demand for them means the land they occupy can be used for better uses.
One of the key reasons for charging staff is that they take up spaces that could be used by customers - having a free period incentivises the turnover of shoppers.
