The Pines Shopping Centre was developed by Lustig & Moar. It was opened by leader of the opposition Jeff Kennett on 27 October 1986.[2]
In 2000 the shopping centre which consisted of a Target, Woolworths and 45 speciality stores with a GLA of 15,000 sqm underwent a minor cosmetic refurbishment. In 2004 the Westfield Group commenced a multi-million dollar expansion of the centre to include Coles, Aldi, 55 new speciality stores and additional car parking at the northern end of the property. In October 2004 the centre was sold to Stockland and rebranded Stockland The Pines.[3] In 2007 a multi-purpose community facility known as The Pines Learning and Activity Centre was opened at the back of the centre.[4]
In late 2016, the shopping centre underwent a new refurbishment with Aldi expanding its floor space and a refresh of the speciality stores on offer. Kmart opened a new store in November 2016, replacing the existing Target store as part of Wesfarmers' strategy to consolidate the underperforming brand nationwide.[5]
In January 2021, the centre was sold by Stockland to Haben Property Fund and renamed back to The Pines Shopping Centre.[6]
