Strathpine Centre is a shopping centre in Strathpine, City of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia.
History
Strathpine Centre was built and opened on 22 August 1983 by the Westfield Group.[1] By 1995, Rodamco owned 50%.[2]
The centre is anchored by Big W and Target discount department stores and Woolworths, Coles and Aldi supermarkets. The centre has a food court anchored by fast food chains such as KFC and Subway. There is also an eight screen multiplex cinema (operated by Event Cinemas), bowling alley, gaming arcade and a gym on an upper mezzanine level.[citation needed]
Most of the centre is single level with a rooftop carpark. It has a bus station with services to Chermside, Toombul, Redcliffe and local services to surrounding suburbs. Strathpine Centre is about a 10-minute walk to Strathpine railway station, with services to Kippa-Ring and Springfield Central via Brisbane.[citation needed]
Strathpine Centre has approximately 165 specialty stores mostly within the categories of clothing, general merchandise, homewares and cosmetics.[citation needed]
Scentre Group owned and managed the centre as Westfield Strathpine until it was sold in August 2015 to 151 Property, a subsidiary of the Blackstone.[3] In January 2022 it was sold to YFG Shopping Centres.[4][5]
After the closure of the Myer department store at Strathpine on 3 March 2007, the section of centre where Myer was located was closed off to allow for a redesign. A new mall was unveiled shortly thereafter and at the time of opening featured a Target discount department store, JB Hi-Fi and many other retail stores.[citation needed]
A new two level Myer store opened in 2008 at Westfield North Lakes, ensuring that Myer still has a department store in the City of Moreton Bay.[citation needed]
Strathpine bus station is serviced by Translink bus routes. It is part of Strathpine Centre. The bus station was upgraded in 2023 to upgrade wheelchair accessibility and security.[6]
