История [ править ]

Вид с воздуха на торговый центр Pacific Werribee. Снято в апреле 2017 года.

Werribee Plaza впервые открылся в 1985 году. За это время центр прошел в общей сложности 7 этапов строительства, седьмой этап начался в конце 2013 года. Комплекс первоначально состоял из двух отдельных зданий до второй очереди. В самом большом здании располагались супермаркеты свежих продуктов и небольшие магазины, а в другом - одноэтажный магазин Myer Store.

Первоначально центр включал в себя трехуровневый развлекательный район, в том числе Ла Порчетта, расположенный на автостоянке Хитс-Роуд, аркаду и кинотеатр Village . В конце 2014 года район был снесен, чтобы создать двухуровневую таверну Plaza , универмаг Myer , Urban Diner, новый Village Cinemas , систему подземной парковки для новых Village Cinemas , центр бинго, библиотеку и другие огромные дополнения.

После перестройки центра Werribee Plaza / Pacific Werribee дважды переквалифицировался в категорию. До реконструкции Pacific Werribee изначально был региональным центром. С середины 2015 года позже было объявлено, что в результате строительства центр был переквалифицирован в «крупный региональный» в связи с увеличением площади центра. 28 августа было наконец объявлено о завершении реконструкции Pacific Werribee. Из-за увеличения площади и наличия якорных арендаторов он был официально отмечен как Pacific Werribee как суперрегиональный торговый комплекс, но все же, согласно веб-сайту, классификация не изменилась.

Redevelopment[edit]

Pacific Werribee has now undergone several stages of renovations and redevelopments since its opening.

Stage 2[edit]

Stage 2 consisted mainly of the construction of a totally separate building on the west side of the site that would later be connected to the existing centre. With this, Pacific Werribee saw the addition of a Woolworths supermarket, Big W, Best & Less and Harris Scarfe, and the installation of glass panelling to create an open space feel. This stage costed roughly A$40.8 million.[4]

Stage 4[edit]

Stage four saw the creation of the relocated Kmart store, construction of the food court in the existing building located east end of the centre and the installation of glass panelling above, the re-creation of 4 entrances to suit new centre facade and re-tiling of entire existing building. Stage 4's developments were worth about A$25 million.[5]

Stages 5 and 6[edit]

Stages 5 and 6 were an important part of the expansion and included the creation of a new area to link the existing and new buildings together to create a unified centre. These 2 stages combined cost about A$13 million.[6]

Stage 7[edit]

On 3 February 2014, Pacific Shopping Centres[7] announced that the Werribee Plaza will be rebranded to Pacific Werribee as a part of a A$370 million redevelopment. The shopping centre was projected to grow by 35,000m², making it the 20th largest in Australia and the 9th largest shopping centre in Victoria.

At the beginning of the redevelopment, the Plaza Corner Library and Bingo Centre was demolished, along with the Plaza Tarvern and BWS drive through. The Kmart Tyre & Auto Service Centre would relocate to make way for the multi-level car park on the Heaths Road side of the shopping centre. The Reject Shop would relocate nearby Coles and Kmart, where Kmart would permanently close their outside gardening centre. The bus interchange relocated and opened in mid 2014 with increased capacity, and stores such as Supercheap Auto and Midas would undergo renovations to make way for updated intersections on Derrimut Road.

In June 2015, the Urban Diner precinct was completed. The revamped food court included new and improved seating, and included a range of restaurants such as Schnitz, Grill'd, Guzman y Gomez, and San Churro. The Village Cinemas opened with the inclusion of Gold Class and along with the new two-level Plaza Tavern next door. Woolworths renovated soon after to include an expansion of their freezer aisle and a relocated BWS store. The Pancake Parlour, and the new Library and Bingo Centre would open in August and new parking was made available underground, and around renovated Hungry Jack's and KFC restaurants.

In August 2015, the Target mall was opened to the public. The new look Target was the successor of the store at the Hoppers Crossing Shopping Centre. Along with Target, stores such as Chemist Warehouse, Adairs, Bonds, Sportsco, Famous Footwear, Pumpkin Patch and Ollie's Place. The Coffee Club also opened, making it the second store in Wyndham, the other being in Stockland. Point Cook. Cotton On Body and Cotton On Kids relocated to the new mall. Approximately 500 new parking spaces were open in the multi-level car park on Heaths Road.

In July 2016, the Myer mall was completed. It included a two-level Myer store, H&M, Uniqlo, Sportsgirl, Seed, a renovated JB HI-FI and a Samsung kiosk. Also, some clothing stores from the Fashion Walk precinct moved to the Myer mall such as, Factorie, Cotton On, Just Jeans and Jayjays. Stores such as Autograph, Victoria Station, Suzannegrae and Shoex would replace the relocated stores in the Fashion Walk. Timezone opened on the second floor outside Myer and over 1000 new parking spaces were open upon the completion of the new shopping precinct. Kmart would also undergo renovations the following month, it included a new layout where cash registers moved to the centre of the store, expanded range of goods and increased capacity for fitting rooms. Their status of trading 24 hours a day was retained.

In June 2017, the Fresh Food precinct was completed. Unlike the previous openings in Pacific Werribee, stores opened on various days, rather than all stores opening at once. The new mall included a new Aldi with a new look layout in comparison to other stores nearby, Market Place, Fish Pier, Pacific Asian, Pretty's Prime Cuts and Direct Organics. Some new restaurants such as Dumpling Chef, Sushi Sushi and Billy's Place also opened to the public, and stores such as Toys R Us, Daiso and Priceline Pharmacy opened in the new area. EB Games and Rebel would undergo renovations to expand their range of products and services, marking the completion of Pacific Werribee's redevelopment.

Transport[edit]

Pacific Werribee has a major bus interchange located on the east side of the centre. This bus interchange has 5 Public Transport Victoria (PTV) routes (161, 166, 167, 170 and 181). These routes are all operated by CDC Melbourne. Prior to the redevelopment the centre had 7 routes running from it, however that was changed due to both the redevelopment itself and the 2015 restructure of the Wyndham Bus Network.
