Dapto Mall is a shopping centre in the suburb of Dapto, a suburb of Wollongong in the Illawarra region, New South Wales, Australia.[1]

History

[edit]

Dapto Mall opened in the 1980s and featured 30 stores. In 2003, the centre expanded to the old Dapto Library site.[2]

The first stage of the $60 million redevelopment commenced in mid 2006 and took around 15 months to complete. This development saw a large car park built and opened on 12 February 2007. The first stage of the expanded centre opened on 6 September 2007 with a refurbished Woolworths supermarket, an expanded Coles supermarket, over 30 new specialty stores (including Big W) along with new customer amenities and parking spaces. It opened on 31 October 2007.[3] The redevelopments upgraded the Mall's total retail floor space from 6,000m²[4] to over 23,000m²,[5] making it the fourth-largest shopping centre in the Illawarra, after competitors Wollongong Central, Stockland Shellharbour and Warrawong Plaza.[better source needed]

On 20 March 2019, $3.5 million facelift of Dapto Mall had commenced.[6] ‘Bringing the outdoors within’ was the design concept of this refurbishment which featured upgrades to level one. The upgrade included a new food court dining concept, a new kids play area, lush internal landscape design and a bespoke Diemme designed and constructed sculpture. The sculpture is a nod to the surrounding countryside and Illawarra coastline, the colours and décor reflect nature with greenery and natural tones. The level one entry and external ramps were also refurbished. This $4.5 million refurbishment was completed on 15 October 2019.[7]
