A major $210 million redevelopment and expansion of Caneland Central was announced in April 2010. The project was projected to create about 1000 jobs and give Mackay's economy a significant boost. The redevelopment was to includes construction of the region's first Myer, outdoor dining, additional speciality and larger stores, extra parking and an expanded food court. The expansion project was undertaken to employ best-practice environmentally sustainable design features. The centre's owner Bovis Lend Lease was responsible for project management, design and construction. The project was officially opened in October 2011.[3][4]
No plans for further expansion have been discussed although the centre has substantial land areas to the East which can be used for development.
