History and development [edit]
Stockland released a concept plan for the Glendale Super Centre in 1994. It was being developed as a US-style power centre consisting of category killer traders, where tenants traded in an open-air environment and there was no internal malls. The tenants listed in the proposal included Target, Woolworths, Franklins Big Fresh, Homeart, World 4 Kids and Best & Less, and room had been provided for about 50 specialty stores, including free-standing fast food outlets.[5][6] The centre was valued at A$55.5 million on completion in March 1996.
In December 2005, Stockland completed an 8,749 square metres (94,173 sq ft) expansion to the centre, adding a Kmart and 19 specialty stores.[3]
Annual turnover at the centre for 2007 was A$261.2 million, with a book value of $220 million.[3]
Transport [edit]
The centre is directly serviced by Newcastle Buses and Ferries bus routes 226,[7] 334, 339 and 363,[8] and by Hunter Valley Buses routes 262, 263, 267, 268, 270 and 271.[9]
Stockland Glendale is a terminus for most of these routes, and it is used as a major bus interchange, with tickets being transferable between buses at that stop.[citation needed] Several of these routes also link the centre to Cardiff railway station about four kilometres away.
Facilities [edit]
The centre is also home to the Hunter Sports Centre, which consists of an athletics track and indoor sports centre. It was built in 1998 at a cost of A$8.4 million, much of which was funded by the City of Lake Macquarie and the Government of New South Wales, and opened in February 1999 with a view to the upcoming 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, 140 kilometres (87 mi) away.[10]
Previously there were plans for a new indoor basketball stadium to be constructed at the centre for the primary use of the Hunter Pirates NBL franchise.[11] These plans have since been shelved since that teams' relocation to Singapore.[citation needed]
