Westfield Whitford City is a major shopping centre, owned by the Westfield Group and located in Hillarys, a suburb of Perth. It is located approximately 18 kilometres north west of the Perth CBD on Marmion Avenue.

History and Development

Whitford City opened on the 21st of March 1978, and is the currently the largest single level shopping centre on the Perth's Northside. Whitford City is Perth's largest shopping centre without a flagship department store, such as a Myer, David Jones, or Harris Scarfe. However former department store chain Aherns did have an outlet there until 1985. Currently Whitford City is home to over 240 specialty stores. Whitford City has been officially part of the Westfield Group since 2004.

Redevelopments

While Westfield Whitford City has been gradually upgraded over the years, the most extensive development occurred between 2002 and 2004, with the area being expanded to about twice of its original size. Over 100 new stores have been added to the centre, including the relocation of Woolworths to the far west of the centre, a new fresh food mall, a new Best and Less store and a new restaurant precinct called The Piazza, which is located on top of the Dampier Avenue entrance. Upon completion, the centre was re-branded as a Westfield. Prior to this a Greater Union, currently a Grand Cinema complex and the now closed Intencity video arcade were developed in 1996. While there are no new development plans are in place, Whitford City could potentially host a full line department store, as the Northern suburbs continue to grow and consumer demand increases.

Architectural Features

Transport

The centre is bounded by the major roads of Marmion Avenue and Whitfords Avenues in Hillarys. Bus routes 460, 461 and 462 also service the centre from the Whitfords railway station and Joondalup railway station.
