Cairns Central Shopping Centre in north Queensland, Australia is Cairns' biggest shopping centre. The centre was opened in late 1997 and is the second multi-story shopping centre in northern Queensland. The shopping centre is built over the Cairns Railway Station, which is incorporated with the centre. Pedestrian access to the station is through the car park on the bottom floor, or a pedestrian walkway on the second floor. Construction of the shopping centre was delayed temporarily due to damage suffered from Tropical Cyclone Justin in early 1997.
Cairns Central contains two department stores (Myer, and Target), two supermarkets (Coles Supermarkets and Bi-lo) and a six cinema complex. The centre is joint owned by Lend Lease, owners of other Australian shopping centres such as Sunshine Plaza and Canelands Central and Westfield.
Ownership Court Case
In August 2007 it was revealed joint owners Westfield and Australian Prime Property Fund were arguing about Westfield's insistence on managing the centre itself. APPF said it wanted current managers Lend Lease to stay in charge and Westfield took the matter to the New South Wales Supreme Court. A spokesman for APPF yesterday confirmed the matter had been referred for mediation, expected to start about February 18.
