History

In 2016, a woman was arrested after attempting to rob the centre's JB Hifi store with armed a syringe. [2] In 2021, a 30-year-old man doused customers at the centre's Caltex petrol station in turpentine and attempted to set a woman on fire. He was sentenced to a two years suspended sentence after the judge accepted his plea of being influenced by drug induced psychosis. [3] The centre sustained minor flood damage in 2021, when stormwater gutters overflowed, causing water to rush into the centre's food court and through the roofs of some shops. [4]
