Westfield Whitford City is a major shopping centre, owned by the Westfield Group and located in Hillarys, a suburb of Perth. It is bordered to the West by St. Mark's Anglican Community School, built on the former Red Cattle Ridge site. It is located approximately 18 km north west of the Perth CBD on Marmion Avenue. In 2006, it had an annual turnover of A$395.4 million and approximately 7.2 million customer visits. The trade area population is about 224,410 and the total retail spending in trade area is A$2.3 billion.
Whitford City opened on 21 March 1978, and is currently the largest single level shopping centre in Perth's northern suburbs. Whitford City is Perth's largest shopping centre without a flagship department store, such as a Myer, David Jones, or a Harris Scarfe store. However, former department store chain Aherns did have an outlet there until 1985. Currently, Whitford City is home to over 240 specialty stores. Whitford City has been officially part of the Westfield Group since 2004. In July, 2014, the Westfield Group became two companies, Scentre Group, and Westfield Corporation. The centre is now owned and managed by Scentre Group.
While Westfield Whitford City has been gradually upgraded over the years, the most extensive development occurred between 2002 and 2004, with the area being expanded to about twice its original size. Over 100 new stores have been added to the centre, including the relocation of Woolworths to the far west of the centre, a new fresh food mall, a new Best & Less store and a new restaurant precinct called The Piazza, which is located on top of the Dampier Avenue entrance. Upon completion, the centre was re-branded as part of the Westfield Shopping Centre Group. Prior to this, a Greater Union, currently a Grand Cinema complex and the now closed Intencity video arcade, were developed in 1996.
