History and development
The centre was originally opened in 1985 and contained Woolworths, Franklins and approximately 70 shops. In 1994, Coles and Target opened at the present sites. Soon after, Franklins closed and moved across the road and the space was converted to Crazy Clarks. In a 2009 expansion this area was used to create space for the mall heading towards Big W and Best & Less.
The centre was purchased by DB RREEF (which has since rebranded to Dexus Property Group) in 2006 for approximately A$100 million (2006).[2]
Expansion
Dexus Property Group has gained approval to expand the retail floorpsace up to four times which includes a cinema and commercial space as part of a 20-year masterplan with floor space of up to 82,500sqm.
Stage 1
