Lush to exit all Westfield shopping centres across Australia

Global cosmetics retailer Lush is set to exit all Westfield shopping centres across Australia as existing leases expire. This move will significantly reduce the brand's physical footprint in Perth, leaving Lakeside Joondalup Shopping City as the city's only remaining outlet after the closures of locations at Westfield Booragoon and Westfield Carousel.

The British brand, known for its handmade soaps and cruelty-free products, has maintained a presence in Australia since 1997. The decision to leave the Westfield network follows a history of unconventional business stances, including the 2021 deactivation of its social media accounts to protest the impact of algorithms on youth mental health and a 2025 protest regarding humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
