History

Erindale Shopping Centre was first developed in 1985, two years before the Tuggeranong Hyperdome. It was intended as a “district retail centre”, to serve the Tuggeranong area. The land mass of Erindale was initially gazetted by the ACT Government with many independent retailers purchasing properties, but was later purchased by Charter Hall and operated as a neighbourhood shopping centre under their name. In the early 2010s, the centre was revitalised to include a new bus station, which was serviced as a terminus by several of ACTION's southbound bus routes, and a modernised facade, as well as the addition of three new retail locations inside the indoor building on Denigan Street.

In 2019, Savills invested an undisclosed amount into the Centre, purchasing its operations and managing it independently.
