The Galleria is the second-largest retail centre in Perth. It contains a Myer, Target, Kmart, Coles, Woolworths, Greater Union Cinema, Rebel Sport and Dick Smith.[1] It contains several major retailers and approximately 227 specialty retailers.

History

The shopping centre was built by the Coles Myer Group. Construction started in 1989 after a fire had destroyed the Boans complex. Construction joined two separate shopping centres on the western side of Collier Road. Collier Road, which had previously extended southeast from the end of Wellington Road, was rerouted further east to enable the building of the central food court and eastern wing of Galleria. The 1994 redevelopment was designed by the Los Angeles architects RTKL Associates Inc and local firm Oldham Boas Ednie-Brown Architects, Planners & Interior Designers (now known as The Buchan Group). In 2003 Galleria was acquired from Westfield Group by Centro Properties Group, but Westfield Group continued to operate the centre until late 2004 when Centro Properties Group officially took over management of the centre. In 2013 as part of Centro's rebranding to Federation Limited the centre was rebranded simply to "Galleria". They had their first major stores Target Australia and Woolworths. In 1988 opened Coles and Kmart Australia. In 1994 a Myer and an Event Cinemas opened. In 2016 they will open two new major stores and an ALDI.
