History
Shellharbour Square opened in November 1982 and featured Kmart, Coles New World, Franklins, Best & Less, W. Waters and Son hardwares. and 96 speciality stores. [2] The centre was owned by Girvan Corporation Ltd who purchased and developed the centre on former public housing land.
In November 1988 GIO acquired Shellharbour Square for $63 million. [3]
Shellharbour Square underwent a redevelopment in the mid 1990s which increased the size of the centre. This development saw the addition of a food court, specialty stores and the opening of Target in 1998.
In 2002 Franklins closed its store and was taken over by Bi-Lo. That same year the W. Waters and Son hardwares store closed and was replaced by Allens Stores which was then rebranded to Harris Scarfe in 2009.
In June 2003, Stockland acquired Shellharbour Square and the centre was renamed Stockland Shellharbour. [4]
In December 2010 Stockland commenced construction on the $330 million redevelopment of Stockland Shellharbour. The redevelopment involved the expansion and partial demolition of the centre. The expansion doubled the size of the centre and involved the relocation of Coles and Kmart. [5] [6] Harris Scarfe closed down on 9th January 2013 to make way for this development. This development included the addition of a new city square, new plaza entrance on vacant land to the southwest of existing centre, alfresco dining precinct, community stage, child play areas and a multi-function space used for passive recreation and small community activities. [7] [8] [9]
Stockland Shellharbour had its grand opening on 18th May 2013. This included the opening of a new city square featuring an alfresco dining precinct known as The Avenue and an expanded fresh food market. [10] The two level Myer department store opened on 11th May 2013 by Australian model Jennifer Hawkins and Myer CEO Bernie Brookes. [11] New stores opened included Harris Scarfe, Woolworths, JB Hi-Fi and a new relocated Coles and Kmart, bringing the total number of stores to around 220. [12] [13]
On 6th May 2021, Timezone opened its venue on level one which features Spin Zone bumper cars, Virtual Reality and arcade games. [14] [15]
