Erina Fair is a major shopping centre located in Erina on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia. Erina Fair was opened as Central Coast Fair in 1987. With expansions in 1994, 2003 and 2009, Erina Fair has become the largest non-metropolitan shopping centre in Australia and the largest single-storey shopping centre in the Southern Hemisphere. The centre contains over 330 stores, 113,500m² of gross lettable area, and 12.7 million customers per annum.[3] It is also the biggest shopping centre on the Central Coast, significantly larger (by almost 100 stores) than its closest competitor, Westfield Tuggerah.[4][5] The Centre has an annual turnover of A$566.7 million.[6]
Erina Fair underwent a A$200 million two-year development in 2003 which resulted in the addition of a new specialty mall, ice skating rink, restaurant precinct, health and fitness club and supermarket, together with community facilities including a library, community hall and youth recreation centre.
