## Resource

Melbourne Central’s $170 million upgrade is set to transform the heart of the city—expanding retail by 14%, adding 10 new food spots with outdoor seating, and launching late-night vibes. The big draw? Kinokuniya’s first Melbourne store, opening by August, after 15 years without a proper bookshop. Stocked with English titles, manga, comics, and Japanese stationery, it’ll host author events and workshops. This isn’t just shopping—it’s a cultural hub designed to wow millions of visitors and locals alike, turning Melbourne Central into the ultimate urban experience.
