Indooroopilly Shopping Centre
shopping mall in Indooroopilly, Brisbane Australia
Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, formerly Indooroopilly Shoppingtown, is a major regional shopping centre in the western suburb of Indooroopilly in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It hosts over 260 specialty stores over 4 floors and is the largest shopping centre in the western suburbs of Brisbane, by gross lettable area, and contains the only Myer and David Jones store in that region.
History
The centre was constructed and opened in 1970 by the Westfield Group. The entire area was first cleared of the residents and their homes, mostly Queenslander-style houses. At its opening, it was reputedly the largest shopping mall in the Southern Hemisphere. This title has since been overtaken by newer centres such as the Chadstone Shopping Centre in Melbourne.
The centre has undergone extensive renovations since its opening. Some of these include a 12 screen cinema complex operated by Birch Carroll & Coyle Megaplex in 1998. Until 2000, Indooroopilly Shopping Centre was known as Westfield Shoppingtown Indooroopilly.
In 2000, the Westfield Group sold its 50% joint venture stake in the centre to Commonwealth Funds Management (CFM) for $300 million.
