Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026.
This page answers one question: where do you go shopping near Highett? The honest answer is a short list. Only two places passed our checks, and both sit at the same address in Cheltenham, just outside Highett: a shopping centre and a department store.
We kept the list thin on purpose rather than pad it with strips and shops we could not confirm. Each place was matched against two independent sources, and every fact below says whose listing it comes from. Where no source gave opening hours, we leave them out.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Where |
|---|---|---|
| A shopping centre near Highett | Westfield Southland | 1239 Nepean Highway, Cheltenham |
| A department store | Big W | 1239 Nepean Highway, Cheltenham |
Westfield Southland — 1239 Nepean Highway, Cheltenham VIC 3192
A shopping centre gathers many separate shops under one roof, which makes it a single stop rather than a strip to walk. Westfield’s own site gives the address as 1239 Nepean Hwy Cheltenham VIC 3192, and OpenStreetMap’s tags carry the same house number on Nepean Highway. We could not find opening hours in the sources we checked, so none are printed here; the centre’s own page is the place to confirm them.
The strip: there is no street to walk here, only one address, 1239 Nepean Highway, which the centre and Big W share.
Big W — 1239 Nepean Highway, Cheltenham VIC 3192
A department store sells many product categories in one shop, from clothing to household goods. The Big W Southland store page on bigw.com.au lists 1239 Nepean Highway Cheltenham VIC 3192, and OpenStreetMap agrees on the street and number. We are not printing hours for Big W here, so confirm on the store page before you set out.
Go for: the department store format itself, many categories in one place, with the range left for the store page to confirm.
