Chatswood Mall (also known as Victoria Avenue Mall) is a pedestrian mall on Victoria Avenue in the Sydney, Australia suburb of Chatswood. It connects the Chatswood Interchange to the Chatswood shopping district and The Concourse. [1]
Retail development in Chatswood started in 1959 on the eastern side of the railway station with the opening of Waltons and Grace Bros. The opening of Wallace Way, Lemon Grove and later Chatswood Chase (1983) and Westfield Chatswood (1986) heralded a new era of shopping centres east of the railway line. [2] The section between Victor and Anderson Street was converted into a partial mall in late 1982. In 1989 section between Anderson Street and The Interchange became a full pedestrian mall. Parking was to be provided on the perimeter of the business centre (with the ultimate phasing out of motor vehicles in the CBD over a five-year period). [3]
In 2010, Willoughby City Council lodged a $4.1 million upgrade of Chatswood Mall. Vibrant lighting, sculptural elements, tree plantings and fresh new street furniture palettes have been installed in Chatswood Mall. The upgrade was completed in 2011. [4]

Close to the CBD in particular, the street is lined with numerous shops, bars and nightclubs. After the 1980s, Oxford Street garnered a reputation as Sydney's primary nightclub strip and subsequently saw a large increase in the number of crimes committed in the area.

The lockout laws ended in 2020 with a focus on small bars and restaurants. Many nightclubs reopened in 2021 especially around Taylor Square.
