Stockland The Pines is a sub regional shopping centre located in the north-eastern suburb of Doncaster East in the city of Melbourne, Australia. The centre is approximately 19 km east of the Melbourne CBD and is situated on the corner of Blackburn and Reynolds Roads. It was opened on 27 October 1986 by the state opposition leader of the time Jeff Kennett. Amenities at Stockland The Pines include a library, community centre, medical centre, several banks, over 100 speciality stores and undercover parking.Opening on Thursday 24th of November 2016 is Kmart.
Expansion
In 2000 the shopping centre which consisted of a Target, Safeway and 45 specialty stores with a GLA of 15,000 sqm underwent a minor cosmetic refurbishment. In 2004 the Westfield Group, who were the owner and manager of the centre at the time commenced a multimillion-dollar expansion of the centre to include Coles, Aldi, 55 new speciality stores and additional car parking at the northern end of the property.[2] In 2007 a multi-purpose community facility known as The Pines Learning and Activity Centre was opened at the back of the centre.[3]
Opinions are mixed in relation to the expansion, with some enjoying the wider range of shops available, while others mourn the smaller, more intimate nature of Stockland The Pines before its redevelopment.
