South.Point in Tuggeranong will open a new multimillion-dollar dining and entertainment precinct, set to be ready in December. ‘The Point’ is a redevelopment of the former courtyard area, between the entrances to Target and The Good Guys.

The entertainment precinct will feature a mezzanine beer garden, undercover outdoor seating, two large screens, new food and entertainment venues, and is centred by a children’s playground. The result aims to be a ‘family-friendly food hall meets entertainment precinct’ that hosts live events and music, and screenings of the big games all year round.

Construction is well underway, with the space set to be home to local favourites like Brodburger, Fricken Chicken, Phat Panda, and Biteful Kebabs. It also welcomes Metaphysica Virtual Reality, which offers a wide range of VR games and adventures.

Canberra-born and loved burger joint, Brodburger, will be moving in and co-owner Sacha Brodbeck is excited to be bringing a new concept to Tuggeranong.

“Our ultra southside customers have been calling for this for so long now, so when we saw the opportunity to open at The Point, we knew we had to jump at it,” says Sacha. “We really want this to be more than just a food venue. Our new concept Brodburger will have all the Brod favourites, as well as a few signature items only available at The Point.

“We’re also going to be operating the only bar – serving up an epic selection of local wines, beers and spirits.

“But even more exciting is our plans to host events, especially music gigs, in the precinct. We’re in the process of locking in some incredible local and national musical acts to perform at The Point across summer,” says Sacha.

“It will be family-friendly good times during the day and early evening, and late-night vibes after dark. We want to get people excited to do something in Tuggeranong. It’s straight to The Point, baby.”

Southsiders and long-time local businesses are already anxious to get to The Point. Phat Panda has been in the courtyard since it opened in 2018, and owner Luke Leung is excited about the change.

“As a longstanding retailer at South.Point, I am thrilled about the upcoming launch of The Point,” saysLuke.

“The Point will provide a fresh, modern look and great vibes, offering a fun entertainment area for families and people of all ages.

“We believe this exciting addition to the Southside will energise and delight Tuggeranong residents, providing them with a new destination that truly enhances the local lifestyle.”

Marketing Manager of South.Point, Amy Young says, “Young people and young families in Tuggeranong have had limited choices for getting together in an easy, casual dining setting with a range of live entertainment and music.

“With the introduction of The Point, they won’t need to leave the area to enjoy great food, activities for the kids and experience live entertainment all in the one place,” says Amy.

“Plus, they can quickly grab something from the shops at the same time. Easy living and easy choices, that really is the point.”

Robert Ell, Managing Director of Leda Holdings (owner of South.Point) says The Point addresses the ongoing development of the area and the growing changes in the market.

“I’m confident that with the addition of The Point, we will continue to see the centre serve as the heartbeat of the Tuggeranong community,” he says.
