Port Canal Shopping Centre is located at 200 Commercial Road in Port Adelaide, South Australia.
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 seperate Coles and Kmart.[2]
In 1998 the Port Canal Shopping Centre was purchased by Precision Group for $36 million.[3][4]
Redevelopment
The state government approved a $45 million redevelopment of the Port Canal Shopping Centre in 2017. Work began on the redevelopment in April 2018 which will see the existing Port Canal Shopping Centre demolished in place of a new mall connected with the existing Coles and Kmart. The centre will be rebranded as "Port Adelaide Plaza" with Stage 1 expected to be complete by mid 2019. Stage 1 will include an Aldi, along with several new and existing specialty stores.[5][6]
