History
The centre originated as a $9 million Super Kmart development in November 1986. Port Adelaide's Super Kmart was South Australia's first hypermarket. Opposite the hypermarket was an open-air mall with specialty retailers.[1]
In 1989, the Super Kmart concept was scrapped, with the building divided in half to become a separate Coles and Kmart.[2]
In 1998 the Port Canal Shopping Centre was purchased by Precision Group for $36 million.[3][4]
Redevelopment
In July 2014 the Port Adelaide Enfield Council approved a $10 million upgrade of the Port Canal Shopping Centre.[5] In 2017, the South Australian government approved a $45 million redevelopment of the Port Canal Shopping Centre consisting of a new mall built in connection with the existing Coles and Kmart. Among other changes, the centre has been rebranded as "Port Adelaide Plaza," and the existing Port Canal Shopping Centre has been demolished.[6] Stage 1 of the new centre opened in April 2019 with a new Aldi, several new specialty stores and a new casual dining precinct. [7]
Stage 2 is set to open in mid-2020, which will complete the redevelopment.
