Theshopping centre was the first of its kind in Tasmania, and has seen many refurbishments over the years.[citation needed] It has recently opened its new mall (facingRosny Hill Road), containing a renovated Kmart and seventeen specialty stores.[1][when?]
In 2016, a woman was arrested after attempting to rob the centre's JB Hifi store with armed a syringe.[2] In 2021, a 30-year-old man doused customers at the centre's Caltex petrol station in turpentine and attempted to set a woman on fire. He was sentenced to a two years suspended sentence after the judge accepted his plea of being influenced by drug induced psychosis.[3] The centre sustained minor flood damage in 2021, when stormwater gutters overflowed, causing water to rush into the centre's food court and through the roofs of some shops.[4]
