Westfield Warringah Mall (previously known as Warringah Mall) is a large indoor/outdoor shopping centre in the suburb of Brookvale, in Sydney, Australia.
Warringah Mall opened on 4 April 1963 and was developed by Hammerson Group around with around 53 stores, including H. G. Palmer (closed 1965), Nock & Kirby, Grace Brothers, Woolworths and David Jones. Ten years later, the centre saw the opening of a new Grace Brothers store which was upgraded from a homemakers store in 1973. The same year a fire broke out in the original Woolworths store which killed two female workers. Fifty more speciality stores have also opened, followed by the opening of the Hoyts Twin Cinema Complex in the early 1980s. Warringah Mall was featured in the movie BMX Bandits with two young BMX experts, P.J. (Angelo D'Angelo) and Goose (James Lugton), meet Judy (Nicole Kidman) who was working as a trolley collector. In the mid-1980s, a Target store was opened along with 20 speciality stores. Warringah Mall was included in the sale of Hammerson's Australian property portfolio to AMP Capital in 1994. To commemorate the Australian Bicentenary, Warringah Shire Council commissioned local sculptor Victor Cusack to create a central fountain for the mall. Entitled "Pacific Family", it was unveiled by Deputy Shire President Julie Sutton on 23 November 1988.
In October 2012, AMP Capital and the Westfield Group swapped interests in seven centres, including Warringah Mall which became a 50/50 joint venture between the two companies. As part of the deal, centre management transferred from AMP to Westfield with the centre rebranded Westfield Warringah Mall. In July 2014, as part of a restructure of the Westfield Group, it came under the control of the Scentre Group.
