Follow Morningside Shopping Centre from its earlier neighbourhood-centre site through the 2008 redevelopment and 11 June 2009 reopening.
An earlier centre on the site
A 2019 retrospective says the new centre opened on the same site as an original centre that had opened forty years earlier. That wording is preserved because the source does not establish an exact opening date for the original centre.
- An earlier neighbourhood centre occupied the same site
- No exact original opening year is inferred
The 2008 redevelopment
A March 2008 project release says Flanagan & Gerard and Grapnel had purchased the centre and that demolition would make way for a larger two-level centre. It also said the project would reuse site infrastructure. These acquisition and design details belong to the 2008 redevelopment record.
- Redevelopment announced in March 2008
- Larger two-level design
- Existing site infrastructure retained
