History
The shopping centre, originally known as Innaloo Shoppers Village, was developed in 1967 to service Innaloo and newly developed Woodlands. It was the second shopping centre built north of the Swan River and opened with about 30 stores plus a Boans department store and Woolworths supermarket. A Target store, and a Coles supermarket, were added to the centre in 1980.
The centre was acquired by Coles Myer in 1983. Nine years later, the centre's name was changed to Innaloo City Centre and a 375-seat food court and Kmart were added.[http://stirlingapps.stirling.wa.gov.au/documentManagement/download.cfm?documentID=970 Stirling Celebrates with Westfield Innaloo], Stirling Community (council publication), 23 August 2005, p. 1.
In December 1996, Westfield Group acquired the centre and changed its name to Westfield Innaloo.[http://web.archive.org/web/20230901231613/https://www.afr.com/property/coles-in-560m-centre-sell-off-19961224-k78rl Coles in $560m centre sell-off] Australian Financial Review 24 December 1996 In 2004–05, the centre grew in size by over 25% as more than 30 specialty stores were added and the Coles supermarket was relocated.[http://www.joneslanglasalle.com.au/en-gb/news/2004/011204PerthOutlook.htm Strong Tenant Demand Despite Record New Supply In Perth Industrial Expected In 2005 - Australia], Williams J., Kennedy G., Randall K.
