Galleria Shopping Centre (formerly known as Centro Galleria and Westfield Galleria) is a super-regional shopping centre located in Morley, Western Australia, about 8 kilometres (5 mi) northeast of Perth's central business district. The Galleria is the second largest retail centre in Perth.[1] It contains several major retailers and approximately 227 specialty retailers.

The present centre was built over a series of developments between 1988 until 1994, and currently has a gross lettable area of 73,204 m2 (787,960 sq ft) and 4,235 parking spaces.

History

The shopping centre was built by the Coles Myer Group. Construction commenced in 1989 after a fire had destroyed the Boans complex. Construction joined two separate shopping centres on the western side of Collier Road. Collier Road, which had previously extended southeast from the end of Wellington Road, was rerouted further east to enable the building of the central food court and eastern wing of Galleria. The 1994 redevelopment was designed by the Los Angeles architects RTKL Associates Inc and local firm Oldham Boas Ednie-Brown Architects, Planners & Interior Designers (Now known as The Buchan Group). In 2003 Galleria was acquired from Westfield Group by Centro Properties Group, but Westfield Group continued to operate the centre until late 2004 when Centro Properties Group officially took over management of the centre. In 2013 as part of Centro's rebranding to Federation Limited the centre was rebranded simply to "Galleria".

Stores & Precincts

Galleria's major retailers include 3 level Myer, Woolworths, Coles, Target, Kmart, Rebel Sport and Greater Union Cinemas. Galleria features an 8-cinema Greater Union complex and approximately 227 speciality retailers.

Transport

Galleria is situated in the suburb of Morley and has a two-level carpark. The Morley Major Bus Interchange is on the western side of the shopping centre and also has a few bus stops around it, serviced by a variety of routes including express services to Perth and the CircleRoute.
