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: Woolworths, Target, Venture, and McEwans. [2]

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

Expansions

An extension was proposed in 2011 to allow for a further 15 tenants. [3] This could be built on the car park on the west side of the bus terminal.
