  • 1996 saw the shopping centre gain extensions including a fresh food area.
  • In 2004-06, when known as "Centro Lavington", the shopping centre went under a major redevelopment with work beginning July 2004 and adding a 350-seat Diners Life food court, a Fresh Life precinct and 20 new specialty stores including Best & Less, The Reject Shop and a refurbishment of Big W. local construction group Zauner acquired the 22 million contract to build and construct the shopping centre. The centre was officially opened on 16 March 2006 at a cost of 33 million.[5]
