Square deal is ‘more than retail’

By Tate Papworth

CS Square Shopping Centre’s $45 million upgrade will be opened next month.

The major extension to Caroline Springs’ largest shopping complex will feature a number of new stores.

Centre manager Rod Kennedy said the upgrades, to be unveiled on Thursday, April 4, will offer more than just improved shopping.

“We’re looking forward to unveiling the CS Square expansion to our customers, providing them with more retail options and greater convenience while helping to generate jobs for the local area,” he said.

“With the addition of Woolworths and Priceline, plus services like dental and optometry, we have strengthened our position as one of the leading shopping destinations within the Melton area.”

Woolworths and Priceline will join The Jolly Miller Cafe, Williams Shoes and Spectacle Hub as new tenants in the centre, which will have more than 6500 square metres of additional retail space. The Reject Shop will re-open in the Centre in a new format.

Parking problems are set to be alleviated, with 240 spaces added, bringing the total number of parking spaces at the centre to 1175.

While the improved facility will open next month, some upgrades have already been completed, including improvements to parenting facilities, internal lighting and landscaping and upgrades to the centre’s general amenity.

The centre has also become more environmentally conscious with more than 2500 solar panels installed to power the centre’s common areas.

Other works to be completed this year include a new children’s play area and a car wash.

The centre will be celebrating the upgrade opening with a raft of free events, giveaways and special retail offers from Thursday, April 4, to Sunday, April 7.
