The Pines Elanora is a major shopping centre located in the Gold Coast suburb of Elanora.[1][2] It includes more than 90 stores and retail services.[3][4]
It is the only shopping centre on the southern Gold Coast that contains all three major supermarkets (Woolworths, Coles and Aldi); Kmart also serves as a fourth anchor tenant.[3]
History
The Pines opened on 9 March 1987.[5] It has been featured in several film and television productions, including Muriel's Wedding in 1994, Mortified between 2006 and 2007, and San Andreas in 2015, when it was renamed "Bakersfield Mall".[6][7]
In January 2015, redevelopment of The Pines began at a cost of A$30 million.[8] As part of the redevelopment, the largest solar car park in Australia was installed, along with nearly twenty new stories and a relocated Woolworths.[9] It was completed in 2016.[9] Around the time of the redevelopment, The Pines had a 15.4% increase in retail sales.[8]
Bus station
The Pines Shopping Centre is a bus station operated by Translink that serves The Pines.[10] It is a ground level station, featuring two side platforms with two bus stands each.[10]
In September 2017, construction began for the relocation of the bus station.[11] The work was completed in November 2017, making it adjacent to the car park facility along KP McGrath Drive.[12]
