VIDEO: Hundreds celebrate Pacific Fair official opening

It’s official – Pacific Fair Shopping Centre has arrived in style!

Last night close to 700 guests celebrated the completion of the centre’s $670 million redevelopment with a star-studded affair in the resort precinct.

Arriving guests and celebrities were greeted by bikini-clad models on swings, while Miss World finalist Eleea Navarro’s soaring vocals set the mood for the night to come.

Chatting to myGC on the blue carpet, television presenter Natalie Gruzlewski said she was thrilled to be hosting the lavish party. “The transformation is incredible. It’s not just a shopping centre, it’s a destination for the Gold Coast. It’s so exciting!”

Following the blue carpet arrivals and plenty of champagne, revellers were ushered towards the precinct’s grand staircase for the official proceedings.

A stunning performance by Queensland National Ballet students kicked off the speeches by AMP Capital CEO Adam Tindall and City of Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate, before the ribbon cutting ceremony.

Fireworks and light displays followed, while a special performance by the Voice stars The Koi Boys really got the party started.

General Manager of Pacific Fair Brett Clarke told myGC the party was perfect way to celebrate almost four years of planning and construction.  “We are exceptionally proud to officially unveil and showcase a $670 million total transformation and redevelopment,” he said.

The $670 million redevelopment of Pacific Fair has seen the centre grow from 98,000sq m to 155,000sq m. It is now the fourth largest shopping centre in the country and the biggest in Queensland.
