The Erindale Centre is a designated group centre located in the Canberra suburb of Wanniassa. It stands on the former site of the Erindale Homestead for which it is named[1], and serves the suburbs of Wanniassa, Monash, Gowrie, Fadden and Oxley. Erindale was developed in 1985, two years before the Tuggeranong Hyperdome and was intended as a “district retail centre”. A variety of retail and service outlets are located in the retail core, accessed off Denigan Street and Grattan Court, including a Woolworths supermarket, a discount department store and a St. George Bank branch. Several other outlets, including a Mobil service station, are located in a mixed services area on the southern side of McBryde Crescent. Foundation Health Care and Erindale Chambers are located off Comrie Street [2] [3]. A new Caltex Woolworths Fuel service station and retail complex were constructed on Denigan Street in 2006[4].
Some buildings in Erindale Centre are: Video Ezy, Blockbuster, The Cheesecake Factory, Goodberry's Frozen Yogurt.
