Indooroopilly Shopping Centre (formerly Indooroopilly Shoppingtown) is a major regional shopping centre in the western suburb of Indooroopilly in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It hosts over 600 specialty stores and is the largest shopping centre in the western suburbs of Brisbane, by gross lettable area, and contains the only Myer store in that region.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Metropolitan Stores )〕 ==History== The centre was constructed and opened in 1970 by The Westfield Group. The entire area was first cleared of the residents and their homes, mostly Queenslander style houses. At its opening, it was reputedly the largest shopping mall in the Southern Hemisphere.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Indooroopilly Brisbane )〕 This title has since been overtaken by newer centres. The centre has undergone extensive renovations since its opening. Some of these include an 8 screen cinema complex operated by Birch Carroll and Coyle in 1987, the addition of a third level in 1995 and the extension and upgrade of the cinema complex into a 16 screen (including Gold Class) Megaplex in 1998. Until 2000, Indooroopilly Shopping Centre was known as Westfield Shoppingtown Indooroopilly.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Westfield Annual Report 1999 )〕 In 2000, The Westfield Group sold its 50% joint venture stake in the centre to Commonwealth Funds Management (CFM) for $300 million.〔(WESTFIELD TRUST TO SELL 50% STAKE IN INDOOROOPILLY FOR $300M )〕 CFM, through its management of the Commonwealth Property Fund (CPF), was the other partner in the joint venture, owning the other 50% stake and giving them full ownership of the centre as a result of the sale. In 2005, CPF (while managed by Colonial First State Property) sold 50% of the centre to the Public Sector and Commonwealth Superannuation Schemes (PSS/CSS). Indooroopilly Shopping Centre is owned by Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation and is managed by Eureka Funds Management as Investment Manager. A $450 million redevelopment was completed in 2015 including a David Jones store, a revitalised Myer store, a new Coles supermarket to join Woolworths and a new outdoor dining precinct. 120 new speciality stores, including Australian and international fashion brands, were added taking the total number of speciality stores to 340. The centre is introducing an advanced parking system expected to be completed in September 2015. The new parking system (the first in a Queensland shopping centre) will be ticketless relying on license plate recognition. The controlled parking initiative will also include a parking guidance system which will use LED-based space indicators and electronic display boards to advise customers of available car parking spaces. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Indooroopilly Shopping Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
