History

The shopping centre, originally known as Innaloo Shoppers Village, was developed in 1967 to service Innaloo and newly developed Woodlands. It was the second shopping centre built north of the Swan River and opened with about 30 stores plus a Boans (later Aherns) department store and Woolworths supermarket. A Target store, and a Coles Supermarkets (Then known as Coles New World), were added to the centre in 1980.

The centre was acquired by Coles Myer in 1983. Nine years later, the centre's name was changed to Innaloo City Centre and a 375-seat food court and Kmart were added.[4]

In 1996, Westfield Group acquired the centre and changed its name to Westfield Innaloo. In 2004-05, the centre grew in size by over 25% as more than 30 specialty stores were added and the Coles supermarket was relocated.[5][6] As of July 2014, the Westfield Group became two companies Scentre Group and Westfield Corporation. The centre is now owned and managed by Scentre Group.[7]

A new entrance was also built to go with previously erected signage nearby.

Westfield also acquired the adjacent Centro Innaloo and renamed it Innaloo Megacentre.[8]

Future development

A $600 million upgrade will see it double in size and grow to 110,000 metres of retail space, joining Westfield Carousel as WA’s biggest centre.

In December 2019, Scentre Group announced it had deferred the redevelopment of Westfield Innaloo.[9]
