Carpark view of Chadstone Shopping Centre on opening day, 3 October 1960
The Chadstone Shopping Centre is outside the City of Monash, but it's just across (the numerous lanes of) Dandenong Road from Hughesdale. Built on the site of the Convent of the Good Shepherd, Oakleigh, starting with their paddocks and later the land that hosted its imposing Gothic stone buildings (demolished by Whelan The Wrecker in 1986), Chadstone was recognised from the outset as a regional shopping centre. Popularly known as Chaddy, it opened on 3 October 1960 and has grown through a series of extensions. See locale on Google Maps.
