Future Town Centre announcement at Hilltops
Hilltops by Birchmore is set to unveil its future Town Centre, a walkable destination designed to bring everyday life together in a way that feels elevated, effortless and entirely one of a kind.
Positioned near the entrance to this beautifully connected community, the Town Centre is envisioned as a pedestrian-first precinct where residents can move easily from home to coffee, convenience and connection within minutes. Walkability sits at the core of the design, encouraging a slower pace, spontaneous catchups and a lifestyle shaped around exploration rather than the car.

The Town Centre will feature a carefully curated mix of cafés, a major supermarket operator, approximately 10 speciality retailers, and everyday essentials, all set within thoughtfully designed streetscapes and inviting public spaces.
For those living at Hilltops, this Town Centre will be more than a place to shop or dine; it will become the social heart of the community, a destination that brings people together, supports a walkable lifestyle, and reflects the pride, quality and vision behind Hilltops Birchmore.
Albury City Council has commenced the planning process for the Town Centre, and Birchmore intends to deliver this important community amenity. As plans progress, further details will be shared as this unique, premium destination begins to take shape. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue building the future of this vibrant, growing community.
