Mid Valley Shopping Centre is a regional shopping centre in Morwell, Victoria, Australia. It is the largest shopping centre in Gippsland. The centre commenced trading on 7 September 1982 (after an opening ceremony the previous day), and has since been redeveloped between the late 1990s and mid-2000s. The centre has 67 stores, including two discount department stores and two supermarkets, as well as a cinema complex and Hardware Store (Bunnings Warehouse)

Opening

Mid Valley was opened in 1982 on a site between the Princes Highway and the main Gippsland railway in Morwell's east. Mid Valley's opening in effect split the retail centre of Morwell in two. Target and Safeway each operated large stores in the CBD and Mid Valley for several years, with both closing their CBD stores in the late 1980s/early 1990s.

At the time of opening the centre housed four majors: Safeway, Target, Venture, and McEwans.

Of the original tenants Safeway, Target, Tattslotto, Just Jeans, Katies, Sussan, and West Mall Newsagency (renamed Card Alley) now remain.
