Lidcombe Shopping Centre

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

History 
The shopping centre on the current site was known as Auburn Power Centre and opened in 2005. It was a bulky goods centre that featured Anaconda, Spotlight, Dick Smith Powerhouse, Party Warehouse, 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. Dick Smith closed its store in 2012. Despite population growth in the area, Lidcombe Power Centre was facing a decline because it lacked a supermarket and discount department store. On 10 November 2014, Lidcombe Power Centre went through a $120m redevelopment that transformed the centre from a bulky goods centre to a 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 moved to the new part of the centre when the redevelopment was completed. Discount Party Warehouse and Tenpin City have remain at their original locations, being developed by Newmark Capital Ltd and the APN Property Group Ltd. Up to 1000 new jobs were created as a result of the redevelopment.

The centre is now known as the Lidcombe Centre and opened late August 2015.
