View across Chadstone Shopping Centre towards the Chadstone Nicholas factory, Holmesglen, Jordanville and Ashwood, 1962

Contents / Summary: Shows shops on the lower level of the shopping centre, with a garden feature in the central light court. Illuminated signs for the London Baby Carriage, Pets Parking Lot, veterinary Surgery, and the entrance to the Ladies' Lounge and Children's Day Nursery are also visible.

 

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.
