[edit] Commercial Areas

The large Warringah Mall shopping centre is located at Brookvale. It features David Jones and Myer department stores, Coles, Woolworths, Hoyts cinemas, Big W, Target, JB Hi-Fi and about 300 other retailers, specialty shops and restaurants. Brookvale supports a fast growing business community ^[1] and is now one of the major industrial areas in Sydney, and is among the fastest growing micro economies in Australia.

[edit] History

The first development of this area was in 1836 when 64 hectares of farmland was granted to William Frederick Parker. In this early period various sections of land were sold to the Malcolm, Burns and Miles families. In 1883, Sydney Alexander Malcolm built what became known as 'Brookvale House'. It eventually was sold in 1961 to the Hooker Investment Corporation paving the way for the construction of Warringah Mall, which is the largest shopping complex in the area.

After World War II, much of the surrounding land was bought by immigrants, many if whom were Italian. The Curulli, Caputo and Bombardier families still own a large percentage of the land in Brookvale. Brookvale developed from farmland to manufacturing, warehousing and in recent years there has been a strong trend towards office developments.

[edit] Sport and Recreation

Brookvale is home to Brookvale Oval, the home ground to the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles of the National Rugby League.
