Box Hill Central Shopping Centre is a regional shopping centre complex (made up of two separate centres) located in the eastern Melbourne suburb of Box Hill in Victoria, Australia. It is approximately 16 kilometres (10 mi) east of Melbourne's central business district and both shopping centres are centrally located within the Box Hill shopping precinct and Whitehorse City Council's Principal Activity Centre.
Box Hill Central - North was originally opened in the 1970s as Whitehorse Plaza, however due to the lack of patrons it was closed down in 2000. After redevelopment of the entire shopping centre which consisted of demolition of all tenancies with the shopping centre, reconfigure of the main shopping mall & car parks as well as major refurbishment of the external as well as the internal facades by Centro Properties Group it was reopened on 1 July 2003 as Centro Whitehorse (although called Whitehorse City while under redevelopment), the shopping centre has had incremental expansions over time since then. In 2007 Centro Whitehorse was re branded as Centro Box Hill North and expanded to include a brand new Harris Scarfe store, now the flagship store in Victoria. In 2013 it was rebranded to Box Hill Central - North as a result of an organisation wide rebranding of all centres owned by Federation Limited.
It is also common for faith groups to share tracks and cheerful Christmas music in the outdoor areas. Particularly, multi-cultural groups featuring a certain Tzar Maher have been found to be effective. With his ethnicity providing beautiful juxtaposition in the Asian-dominated demographics of the patrons, his voice, hair and even beard, have impacted observers and astonished on-lookers alike. Others have also proven effective. Andrew Llort (JCfan), "Go Chew a Bomb", Senpai Alicia, Vincent and Peking Duck have also been seen in the area.
Box Hill Central - South was originally opened in the 1987 as Box Hill Central, it was built when the old railway station and level crossing was removed, and Market and Main Streets were closed to traffic. The centre was refurbished in 1998 and in 2000 was acquired by the Centro Properties Group, who have since renamed it to Centro Box Hill South, though many still refer to it as Box Hill Central. Unusually, the shopping centre has a large indoor fresh food market located along the eastern edge of the complex. The original market opened in 1895 which was incorporated into the shopping centre when it was developed.
