History
Prior to being redeveloped as a shopping centre, the site was the site of the Perdriau Rubber Factory. Henry Perdriau started manufacturing rubber products here in c.1900. Perdriau Rubber Co. merged with the Dunlop Rubber Company of Australia in 1928, by which time Perdriau was producing 50,000 shoes per week and between 500,000 - 780,000 tyres annually.[2] The rubber factory was closed in 1976 when the site was sold to David Jones to be redeveloped.[3] The centre was opened on Thursday 26 July 1979 when redevelopment works were 80% complete.
