[1] Retail development in Chatswood started in 1959 on the eastern side of the railway station with the opening of Waltons and Grace Bros.

[2] The section between Victor and Anderson Street was converted into a partial mall in late 1982.

Parking was to be provided on the perimeter of the business centre (with the ultimate phasing out of motor vehicles in the CBD over a five-year period).

Vibrant lighting, sculptural elements, tree plantings and fresh new street furniture palettes have been installed in Chatswood Mall.

[4] Five shopping centres and arcades are located on or close to Chatswood Mall: The Melody Markets are held each Thursday and Friday in Chatswood Mall and feature food and craft stalls and live music visited by more than 30,000 people daily.
