Westfield Carindale was until late 2006 Brisbane's largest shopping centre at 115,524m2 or 1,243,500ft2^{[citation needed]}, and is located in the suburb of Carindale, south of Brisbane. The renovated and extended Westfield Chermside on the north side over took the title of largest shopping centre in Brisbane. Management and the Centre Name/Branding of the centre was handed over to the Westfield Group (from Suncorp) in 1999 [1] The Centre is still owned by Suncorp and the Carindale Property Trust. Other features include a large recently renovated food court, Brisbane City Council Library, a town square, Hotel Carindale and a homemakers centre across the road that has shops including Harvey Norman and Dick Smith Electronics. It was the first centre in Queensland to have 2 Major Department Stores in the one centre.

Carindale Interchange is a major transport hub for the area, providing access to three major universities, the Redland Shire and the Brisbane CBD. The proposed future Eastern Busway will provide extra and more efficient public transport.
