The centre opened in 1974 as 'Meadow Fair' shopping centre (the old jingle going, "Meadow Fair See You There") and went through major reconstructions in 1995 and 2003. In mid-2006 the centre opened its doors to the new entertainment precinct adding JB-Hi Fi, Novo and Dick Smith, while connecting the Hoyts cinema complex and the La Porchetta and Anatolian restaurants.
Target closed its store in the centre in late 2016 and was replaced with Kmart However Kmart originally opened in the centre in 1999 .{{Cite web|date=13 October 2016|title=More in store as Broadmeadows Target becomes Kmart|url=https://www.heraldsun.com.au/leader/north-west/target-leaves-but-has-more-in-store-as-it-becomes-kmart/news-story/6e7ed0996d2e78e40ab0b1032ab7e7b6|url-status=live|access-date=20 September 2021|website=Herald Sun|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161015125356/http://www.heraldsun.com.au:80/leader/north-west/target-leaves-but-has-more-in-store-as-it-becomes-kmart/news-story/6e7ed0996d2e78e40ab0b1032ab7e7b6 |archive-date=15 October 2016 }}
