Harbour Town

This article is about the shopping centre concept. For the golf course, see Harbour Town Golf Links.

The Harbour Town Premium Outlet shopping centre's are the only, outdoor, outlet shopping centres in Australia. The Harbour Town centre's on the Gold Coast and in Adelaide incorporate multiple factory outlets into a single shopping destination. As of June 2025, there are two locations owned and operated under the Harbour Town Premium Outlets brand: ^[1] Biggera Waters, on Queensland's Gold Coast, and at Adelaide Airport, in South Australia.

The Harbour Town Premium Outlets centres are owned by Lewis Land, Australia's oldest, private property developer. ^[2] Harbour Town centres previously also operated in Perth, Western Australia and Docklands, Victoria before being sold and rebranded.
