Market Square Shopping Centre (Geelong)

In 2006, an extension into the former Safeway section of the centre saw other large chains move in, including the return of JB Hi-Fi to Geelong, and an EB Games.

The Geelong Regional Commission on 6 November 1981 released a plan that would see a massive shopping centre extend from Little Malop Street through to the waterfront.

It was decided by the former Geelong City Council that the shopping centre should still be completed, so investors were sought to construct the complex.

[5] However, these revenues declined by the early 1990s due to competition with Bay City Plaza and the recession after the collapse of the Pyramid Building Society.

The Council attempted to establish a linkage with the adjoining Bay City Plaza shopping centre but was unsuccessful.

[3] The decision to put the centre on the market again was made in September 1995.In January 1996 a minimum reserve price of $34.5 million was set.
