Expansion

In 2000 the shopping centre which consisted of a Target, Safeway and 45 specialty stores with a GLA of 15,000 sqm underwent a minor cosmetic refurbishment. In 2004 the Westfield Group, who were the owner and manager of the centre at the time commenced a multi-million dollar expansion of the centre to include Coles, Aldi, 55 new speciality stores and additional car parking at the northern end of the property.[2] In 2007 a multi-purpose community facility known as The Pines Learning and Activity Centre was opened at the back of the centre.[3]

Opinions are mixed in relation to the expansion, with some enjoying the wider range of shops available, while others mourn the smaller, more intimate nature of Stockland The Pines before its redevelopment.
