Lidcombe Shopping Centre is a sub-regional shopping centre in the suburb of Lidcombe in Sydney's west. It is owned and managed by Vicinity Centres.[1]

History

The shopping centre on the current site was known as Auburn Power Centre opened in 2003. It was a bulky goods centre that featured Anaconda, Spotlight, Dick Smith Powerhouse, Party Warehouse and a Ten Pin Bowling Alley and around 30 stores. Auburn Power Centre was renamed Lidcombe Power Centre in 2009. American retailer Costco opened its second Australian store across the road from Lidcombe Power Centre in late July 2011.[2] In 2012 Dick Smith closed its store along with 2 other Dick Smith stores.[3] Lidcombe Power Centre was facing a decline due to the population of the suburb many people had to travel to nearby Auburn Central or Rhodes Waterside to shop at a supermarket or discount department store.[4] On 10 November 2014, Lidcombe Power Centre went a $120m redevelopment transforming the centre from a bulky goods centre to sub-regional centre. The centre was to be called The Marketplace Auburn. Leading retailers including Woolworths, Aldi and Kmart were added to the centre. Anaconda and Spotlight have continued to operate from the centre during redevelopment, and moved to the new part of the centre when the redevelopment was completed. Discount Party Warehouse and Tenpin City have remain at its original location being developed by Newmark Capital Ltd and the APN Property Group Ltd. Up to 1000 new jobs was created after redevelopment.[5]

The centre now to be known as Lidcombe Shopping Centre opened late August 2015.[6]
