[1] The Eastern Suburbs Line offer frequent services to Bondi Junction station which is a short walk from the centre.

Westfield Bondi Junction has bus connections operated by Transdev John Holland and Transit Systems to the Sydney CBD, Eastern Suburbs and Inner West.

[citation needed] The oldest of these was a Grace Bros store opened in 1934 on the site of the former Hoyts Coronet picture theatre on Oxford Street.

In the early 1970s, the store's striking Modernist exterior was documented by prominent Sydney photographer Max Dupain.

[citation needed] This three-level centre featured a Safeway supermarket (later Woolworths), around 50 stores and notably for the time, a food court.

With the promise of the Eastern Suburbs railway line, a larger shopping centre was built by AMP and the Uniting Church (who owned part of the site).

[citation needed] This shopping centre, called Bondi Junction Plaza opened in 1976 and included a David Jones department store.

The tunnel was opposed by the local Chamber of Commerce and subsequently dropped together with the entire commercial development in 1976 when the railway was reassessed in a cost-cutting exercise.

This development made Westfield Bondi Junction one of the largest shopping complexes in the Sydney metropolitan area.

The major retailers include LEGO, David Jones, Myer, Kmart, Coles, Harris Farm Markets, Woolworths, Uniqlo, Zara, Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi, Rebel, Freak VR and Event Cinemas.
