Harbour Town Premium Outlets Gold Coast has again secured 5th place nationally for sales MAT/m²  in the Shopping Centre News Big Guns 2026 report – one of Australia’s most respected benchmarks for retail centre performance – ranking among the top 5 out of 94 shopping centres assessed across the country.

The Big Guns report, published annually by Shopping Centre News Australia, measures retail centres by sales per square metre, a key industry metric that reflects the productivity and commercial strength of a centre’s retail mix. Being ranked 5th nationally places Harbour Town Premium Outlets Gold Coast in rare company, outperforming the vast majority of major retail destinations across Australia.

This result marks another year of sustained excellence for the Gold Coast precinct, reinforcing its reputation as one of the country’s most productive outlet shopping destinations.

Our management, marketing and leasing teams work in close alignment to ensure the centre continues to attract the right retail mix, maintain a compelling visitor experience, and evolve with the needs of the community. Equally important is the strength of our retail partners — the brands and operators whose commitment to service and product quality drives customer loyalty and repeat visitation. And of course, none of it is possible without the community that continues to choose Harbour Town as their destination for fashion, value and experience.

For shoppers, the Big Guns ranking reflects something they already know: Harbour Town Premium Outlets Gold Coast offers a genuinely premium retail experience — with an unmatched selection of leading Australian and international brands, all at outlet prices.

For retail partners and prospective tenants, this result speaks directly to the commercial opportunity available at Harbour Town. A top-5 ranking for sales productivity is a clear signal of strong foot traffic, high consumer intent and a centre that consistently delivers results.

At Lewis Land , we remain focused on the fundamentals: investing in our centres, supporting our retail partners, and creating destinations that people want to return to. Harbour Town Premium Outlets Gold Coast is a flagship example of what that commitment looks like in practice.

We congratulate and thank everyone who is part of this achievement – our teams, our retailers, and the community that makes it all possible.
