[2] In early 1968, the AMP applied to the Shire of Knox to have a 33-acre block at the north-east corner of Burwood Highway and Springvale Road rezoned to accommodate a large, air-conditioned drive-in shopping centre with a twin cinema complex, office tower, library, health care facilities and 2400 car parks.

[2][3] The centre was originally set to open in 1972, however, Knox Council received about 1000 objections and 160 people asked for theirs to be heard.

A major objector was the Boronia Chamber of Commerce, which claimed that existing shopping centres offered ample opportunities for expansion and that the proposed development was inappropriate.

[5] The land on which the centre stands was originally a low-lying swamp and proclaimed flood plain adjoining Blind Creek.

In August 1974, a 700-metre section of the watercourse was diverted below the future shopping centre car park through twin 1.9m⌀ pipes.

By the second half of 1976, the office tower, cinema, library and indoor mall were being fitted out with electrical, mechanical, air conditioning and fire services, by Rankine & Hill, who were also the quantity surveyors for the project.

These were designed by the architects expressly for the centre and produced by Enco Besser Masonry, likely marking the first time such a material had been used on a project in Australia.

[7] Large quantities of scaffolding were required both inside and out, which was laid in an unorthodox, angular layout rather than vertical, to give block-layers ready but safe access to all parts of the structure.

[11][12] Beginning by 2016 and opening in stages from 2017, the project was intended to include an international retail and fashion precinct, a new cafe area and the relocation of a discount department store further towards the Burwood Highway frontage to accommodate for new corridors.

Secondary refurbishments and upgrades to the Ozone precinct were also intended to commence in 2015, including the relocation of the bus interchange and library into this area, east of their present locations.

In particular, the former Myer store was in a poor state, with carpet wearing out, floor tiles missing, paint peeling, and shelves damaged.

The updated plans showed a smaller Myer with two floors and a casual dining precinct with an outdoor children's play area.

[15] Myer revealed in March 2021 that they would close down their Knox store by the end of July that year, leading to speculation of what would take its place.

In December 2022, Westfield officially opened level 1 of their new expansion area with Woolworths, Aldi, and the new Dining Hall.

The mall has been utilised as a filming location a number of times in recent years for the Australian television soap, Neighbours, particularly the Village Cinemas entrance.
