M/Group acquired Pialba Place in February 2019, on the premise of improving the shopping experience for customers with the introduction of a broader retail mix and creation of an environment to suit a diverse demographic.
The first in a series of improvements by the new owners of Pialba Place has been the announced Rivers Australia, who have signed a lease agreement and are scheduled to arrive at the centre later this year. Rivers Australia is one of Australia's most recognised fashion brands with stores located across the country.
Mr James Collis, Director at M/Group, said the new lease agreement is an early indication of great things to come, as M/Group takes further steps to evolve Hervey Bay's local community shopping hub.
