Stockland Wetherill Park (known as “Stockies” to locals) is a shopping mall in Wetherill Park, Sydney, Australia. Being an indoor and outdoor shopping centre, it is 47th-largest by area in the country.[1] Costing $142 million to build, the centre was established in 1983 and has been through four phases of redevelopment, with the major one completed in September 2016, where it had undergone a $228 million renovation with some 5,600 m2 (60,000 sq ft) of retail space.[2]
Features
The shopping centre features Coles, Woolworths, Big W, Kmart, JB Hi-Fi, Angus & Coote and 200 specialty stores, including over 20 fashion stores. It also features a refurbished, twelve-screen Hoyts cinema with leather seating and recliners, a 24-hour gym and alfresco dining with floor-to-ceiling windows. The centre features "The Grove", which contains an 800-seat indoor-outdoor food terrace with 14 restaurants, cafes and food operators, with those outside being in a lane-way setting. Cuisines in the eateries include Thai, Mexican, Vietnamese and Italian, among others.[3]
The centre has also opened an extra 910 car parking spaces in 2016, bringing the total to close to 2700 spaces, which is a 30% increase on the number of spaces available before the redevelopment. The mall's height is roughly around 15 metres. Furthermore, the shopping centre also includes a children's playground, which is on the outdoor section of the mall.[4]
Chris Bowen MP, Member for McMahon, Shadow Treasurer, Dr Hugh McDermott MP, Member for Prospect and Mayor of Fairfield City Council, Frank Carbone attended the official re-opening and toured the centre. Since opening stage 1 in 2015, Stockland Wetherill Park has received more than 5 million people through the new subdivisions of the mall.[5]
