History
Palm Beach Plaza (Papamoa Plaza) opened in 1997. On November 5, 2002, part the mall was devastated by a large fire that started in Shane Punjab Restaurant. 3 stores were gutted, and 3 others were damaged. The fire caused hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage. At 5am on March 12, 2006, a fire broke out in the 'Fresh Fish Market' store. The mall had installed Automatic Alarms since the 2002 fire, which allowed the fire to be dealt with quicker.
On June 16, 2006, the Papamoa Library and Community Centre opened adjacent to the Plaza. The 975sqm building cost $9.1 million to build.
During the summer of 2006-2007 Weber Bros La Jester Circus visited Palm Beach Plaza.
Palm Beach Plaza changed to Papamoa Plaza. Papamoa Plaza is currently undergoing a major redevelopment, increasing retail space to approximately 16,000m², with 40+ speciality stores under development.
Location
Papamoa Plaza is located on the corner of Gravatt Road and Domain Road in Papamoa. There is road access to the shopping centre from both of these roads. On Gravatt Road, the shopping centre is adjacent to the Papamoa Library and is opposite another shopping centre (Fashion Island).
A market used to be held on the grass next to the Plaza on the second and fourth Sunday of every month, run by the Papamoa Lions Club, but stopped operating on September 2014 due to redevelopment at the Plaza. Market organisers were given notice until the end of February, 2015 to re-locate due to the centre's redevelopment.
