In early 2007, construction began on a major extension that was set to bring the total number of stores in the centre to over 200.

The extension was opened to the public in October of the same year, including Big W and Woolworths stores and a food court which replaced the old one that was demolished due to the expansion.

[2] IKEA opened their second Queensland store at Westfield North Lakes in November 2016.

Stage 3 also has 60 additional stores, including Kmart, Rebel Sport, JB HI-FI and Cotton On.

North Lakes bus station is a 350 m (380 yd) or 5 minute walk[3] from the shopping centre with routes to the Redcliffe Peninsula, Chermside, Strathpine, Petrie, Narangba, Kallangur, Griffin, Murrumba Downs, Mango Hill and North Lakes.
