The centre also houses offices for Westfield Management and also for doctors, lawyers and government agencies. Marion is located on a large allotment of land with frontages to Sturt, Diagonal and Morphett Rds. Over 30,000 people shop at Marion each day. It is located within the City of Marion and is the major shopping destination for the surrounding region. Some 350,000 people live in the vicinity of Westfield Marion.
Westfield Marion was built in 1968, and has seen three extensions in 1982, 1989 and 1997. The last extension saw the centre expand to a floorspace of roughly 119,000 m2.[1]

There is also a 9.1 metre high replica of the Statue of Liberty near the centre.
