Background
Point Cook has been subject to rapid growth. In 2001 Point Cook's population was 1,963 compared to the population in 2006, 14,735 and the expected population in 2015 being 45,805. Therefore, the need for a new shopping destination was essential to take the overflow off Pacific Werribee, Sanctuary Lakes Shopping Centre, Altona Gate and Central Square Shopping Centre. In June 2011, Stockland bought Point Cook Town Centre for $176 million.
Construction
VicUrban and Walker Corporation constructed the $150 million Point Cook on a 10 hectare site located 23 kilometres south-west of Melbourne’s CBD. The design for Point Cook shopping centre is a town centre with a ‘main street’ theme with both sides of the street having small retailers with an undercover walkway. Stage one of the construction was finished in mid-2008 with a Coles, Target, Aldi and a further 90 specialty stores and the cost was $90 million. Stage two of the construction was complete November 2010 with a further Harris Scarfe, a food court, and over 40 speciality stores adding to the town centre. The cost of stage two of the shopping centre was $50 million and overall, it costed about $150 million. The neighbouring library and community centre was built roughly about the same time and is a one-minute walk from the shopping centre.
Transport
Stockland Point Cook is approx 30 minutes drive time (27 km) from Melbourne along the Princes Freeway. Drivers can access the centre from the freeway by exiting at either Palmers road and turning right at the Palmers road & Dunnings road intersection or Hoppers Crossing and turning left onto Boardwalk Boulevard. The undercover parking is accessible from Dunnings Road (Target Precinct), Murnong Street (Harris Scarfe Precinct) or via Boardwalk Boulevard (Coles Precinct).
