[edit] History

Miranda Fair was originally opened in 1964 and was purchased by Westfield in 1969. There have been two major renovations and extensions since then, once in 1971 and again in 1994 giving it 107,000 m² of retail space. In both instances it was the largest shopping centre in Australia at the time the extensions were completed. For several years it was widely known as the largest shopping centre in the southern hemisphere.^{[citation needed]} Since these openings, other shopping centres have been built and expanded, including long-time rival Westfield Parramatta, now making it the 8th largest in Australia and the 2nd largest in Sydney.
