[2] Westfield Tuggerah has bus connections to Charmhaven, The Entrance, Gosford, Lake Haven, Ourimbah and Wyong, as well as local surrounding suburbs.

The $170 million development was built on a greenfield site that was located across the road from the Wyong District Abattoirs.

Originally a single storey shopping complex surrounded by car parks, the centre featured the Central Coast's only David Jones, as well as Big W, Woolworths, Intencity arcade, an eight screen Greater Union cinema, international food court and 140 specialty stores.

[3] Following the opening there has been a progressive decline in shopping in the nearby towns, with many empty stores and banks in Wyong in particular.

This redevelopment added in a Target, Harris Scarfe, Aldi, Coles, Trade Secret, Lincraft, JB Hi-Fi, Timezone arcade and 90 specialty stores.

[citation needed] In September 2009, Myer announced a proposal for a store in the centre to open by the end of 2013.

The major retailers include David Jones, Big W, Kmart, Target, Aldi, Coles, Woolworths, H&M, TK Maxx, JB Hi-Fi, Rebel, iPlay and Event Cinemas.
