Westfield West Lakes is a shopping centre located in West Lakes, South Australia serving as a shopping hub for Adelaide's beachside western suburbs. It contains approximately 260 stores, with anchor tenants David Jones, Harris Scarfe, Kmart, Coles, Target and Woolworths. The centre also includes a City of Charles Sturt Community Centre and Library, facing West Lakes Boulevard. Westfield West Lakes is the only major suburban shopping centre in Adelaide to have paid parking.

Ownership History

Built in the mid 1970s as a part of the West Lakes Development by Delfin Property Group, West Lakes Mall was opened in November 1974.[1] The centre was designed to be in the 'Community Square' of West Lakes, which is also home to the Lakes Resort and Football Park. Owned by Deutschland Retail Property Trust Australia Limited, Westfield Group acquired a 50% interest in 2002. Subsequently, the remaining 50% ownership was sold to a private Australian Investment firm. In July 2014, the Westfield Group became two companies Scentre Group and Westfield Corporation. The Westfield Group portion is now owned by Scentre Group.[2]

Redevelopment

2004 - 2006 saw a major expansion to the North of the centre. Located next to David Jones (previously Jewel), a large food court, fashion strip and Reading Cinema complex was built. Adjoining the cinema, is a large double storey carpark, overlooking AAMI Stadium to make up for lost car parking.

Redevelopment of the centre was completed in August 2013. It extended the centre further to the north-west, next to David Jones & Harris Scarfe and introduced a paid parking system.[3] Target become an anchor tenant as well as approximately 40 additional retailers being added.
