Chatswood Mall


Chatswood Mall is a pedestrian mall on Victoria Avenue in the suburb of Chatswood. It connects the Chatswood Interchange to the Chatswood shopping district and The Concourse.

History

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 and Westfield Chatswood heralded a new era of shopping centres east of the railway line. 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.

Redevelopment
