Queensgate Shopping Centre, New Zealand

Between 2004 and 2006 the mall had a big expansion doubling the size of the centre with a bigger carpark, more shops and a new Event Cinemas multiplex.

The Countdown supermarket that is overtaken by the carpark now has now moved south-east of the mall under The Warehouse.

Following the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake, the entire shopping centre closed for urgent safety inspections, partially reopening eleven days later.

One building in the northeast corner of the mall, containing the Event Cinema and part of the carpark, was deemed structurally unsafe and was demolished.

[6] In December 2022, Event Cinemas reopened after being demolished due to the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake.

The centre is also a short walking distance from Melling railway station which has rail services to Wellington City via Petone/Alicetown.

[citation needed] The centre is known for the youths often seen frequenting the southern bus stop.
