In 2016 Chadstone Shopping centre in Melbourne completed a massive $660 million redevelopment, as part of this, Redback was proud to be a supplier of horn and ceiling speakers for background music, paging and evacuation announcements. This installation utilised high power Redback Fast-Fix ceiling speakers and the popular C 2048 weatherproof horn speaker.
This extension of the centre marked the 40th increase of the shopping centre floor area since its inception. This added some 34,000 square metres of floor area, to a total of 200,000 square metres – one of Australia’s largest shopping destinations.
The development included:
- 25,000m2 of retail to house international flagships including H&M, Sephora, Uniqlo and premium international brands such as Furla, The Kooples, Sandro and Tesla Motors’ first integrated Melbourne retail dealership
- 13 new state-of-the-art HOYTS cinemas
- Two new dining precincts including the Dining Terrace featuring Fonda, Marae Izakaya, Neil Perry’s Burger Project, Woodstock Pizzicheria, Mama’s Buoi, New Shanghai and Mezz Bistro and Bar, and Food Central – a 1,300 seat, 20 plus tenancy food gallery
- A 10-level, 17,000m2 office tower with basement car parking. The impressive new 7,080m2 gridshell roof that crowns the major retail development is set to become one of Australia’s iconic architectural structures.
