Eastland. Food court

Eastland is the name of a shopping centre in Ringwood, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is close to Ringwood railway station, located on the other side of the road from the centre. The centre features 2 main levels of shops, with a 3rd level containing a Hoyts 12 screen cinema complex and restaurants, forming a total of approximately 235 stores. There is a central food court for shoppers, consisting of many take-away outlets.

[edit] Stage 5 redevelopment

In early 2009 construction will begin on the Stage 5 redevelopment of Eastland. It will involve the demolition of all existing buildings in front of Eastland (on Maroondah Highway, between Ringwood Street and Warrandyte Road), and is said to be costing QIC more than $400 million to construct.

The finished centre will include around 100 more stores, linking the new Maroondah Highway entrance to the 3rd level of Myer and the level 3 Cinema area. The redevelopment will include a brand new library, built in the vicinity of the current Harris Scarfe store, as well as an 8-storey hotel and an office building closer to Ringwood Street.

The Maroondah Highway frontage to the centre will include alfresco dining areas (reminiscent of Knox O-Zone) and a new "Ringwood Town Centre" open area to the right (adjacent to the new library). The redevelopment is due for completion in March 2011.
