Hours, location, phone, store list

Figtree Square is a small shopping centre located in Figtree, an inner western suburb of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. It is situated on the corner of Princes Highway and The Avenue, next to Figtree Grove, a larger shopping centre with a Woolworths, Coles and Kmart. Figtree Square offers more than 10 stores and other services such as cinemas or restaurants. The history of Figtree Square dates back to 1867, when the Figtree Inn was built at the site of the turnoff to O’Brien’s Road, a mountain pass used in early days of settlement. The inn later changed its name to Figtree Hotel and it still stands today. The shopping centre was named after a giant fig tree that once stood on the eastern side of the highway at the junction with O’Brien’s Road. The fig tree was cut down in 1996 and only a small portion of its trunk is left. The owners of Figtree Square are not publicly known, but they have been involved in some disputes with the owners of Figtree Grove over parking and access issues. In 2017, the owners of Figtree Square applied for a development application to expand the shopping centre and add more retail space, a gym and a childcare centre. However, the application was rejected by the Wollongong City Council due to concerns about traffic congestion, heritage impact and overshadowing. The opening hours of Figtree Square are generally from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm on weekdays, except Thursday 9:00 am - 9:00 pm, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on Saturdays and from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on Sundays. It is located near Fig Tree Park, a public park that contains sports facilities, a baby health centre and a small sculpture garden. Parking at Figtree Square is limited and often crowded due to the proximity of Figtree Grove and the Princes Highway. There are about 100 parking spaces available for customers and staff at Figtree Square, but they are often occupied by shoppers from Figtree Grove who use them as overflow parking. There is also some street parking along The Avenue and O’Brien’s Road, but they are subject to time restrictions and fines. Bus stops and public transport near Figtree Square are also scarce and inconvenient. There are no bus stops directly outside the shopping centre, but there are some nearby along Princes Highway and The Avenue. However, these bus stops are not serviced by many routes and have infrequent schedules. The nearest train station is Unanderra Station, which is about 3 km away from Figtree Square and requires a bus or taxi transfer. Figtree Square is a small shopping centre that caters to the local community of Figtree and its surrounding suburbs. It offers a range of stores and services that meet the basic needs of shoppers, but it faces competition from larger shopping centres such as Figtree Grove and Wollongong Centra. It also suffers from poor parking and public transport options that make it less accessible and convenient for customers.
