Talk:Chadstone Shopping Centre

message: It's also interesting to note that within one block of Chadstone is every Coles Myer owned brand except for Liquorland/VC and Target Country.
Coles, Bilo, Kmart, Kmart Tyre & Auto, Myer and Target are in the shopping centre itself.
Officeworks, Megamart and KMart Garden Center are located at the corner of Warrigal and Waverly Roads.
Coles Express is located at the corner of Princess Hwy and Warrigal Roads.
-You are right. Clearly no accident. Interestingly, Woolworths has been kept out of the region almost completely. The Shopping Centre has no Safeway, Big W or Dick Smiths (although there is in fact a Tandy). And now there is a Caltex/Safeway Petrol on the corner of Waverley and Warrigal Roads in Chadstone.

message: I lived in Chadstone (the suburb) in the late 60s/early 70s, and my family shopped at Chadstone shopping centre in its original structure. There was originally a supermarket (New World, which I believe was owned by Coles) at the northern end, which wasn't redeveloped as the existing Target store until the 80s, although I'm not sure if that was before or after the Gandel Group bought the complex. 
Unfortunately I can't find any citations for this on Google. I live in London now, but there might be something available in newspaper archives in Melbourne libraries, and there is also a section on the building of the shopping centre in The Gay Provider a history of the Myer Emporium written by Alan Marshall (1961), which my mother, a former Myer employee, owns. redcountess 20:08, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

message: According to the Official Victorian Government VICNAMES register at http://services.land.vic.gov.au/vicnames/ Chadstone is located in Malvern East and not Chadstone, however a recent post has changed the location to Chadstone.
I believe the centre is in Malvern East?
What do you think?

replies: text: Just checked, the centre is entirely within Malvern East, according to the Victorian Government Planning Maps . I will make all required changes. --Lakeyboy (talk) 09:50, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Location Malvern East vs Chadstone 

message: I believe The Mall, Heidelberg West, is the oldest shopping centre in Australia.  It is located in what was the Olympic Village and was opened in time for the 1957 Olympic Games.  It is essentially unchanged from that time and by today's standards is tired and run-down. Bmorey (talk) 04:54, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This could be the case, but you'd need to find a decent ref. Chadstone is widely considered the first, so you'd probably need something pretty convincing to prove otherwise. --jjron (talk) 16:07, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

text: "Opened in October 1960 at a cost of £6 million,[6][7] Chadstone Shopping Centre was the first self-contained regional shopping centre in Melbourne" - does not mention outside of Melbourne. Top Ryde's interstate. —MelbourneStar☆talk 02:25, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
