About Toowoomba
Toowoomba City is a suburb of Toowoomba,
Queensland, Australia, containing its central
business district.
Toowoomba City contains two significant shopping
centres, presently under the same
ownership. Grand Central Shopping Centre, with a
GLA of 46,000 square metres (500,000 sq ft),
contains the region's only Myer store, as
well as a Coles, Target and 145 specialty stores.
Garden Town Shopping Centre, across Gowrie
Creek and containing a GLA of 12,434 square
metres (133,840 sq ft) (2009), contains a Supa IGA
supermarket, Best & Less and Lincraft along with
40 other stores. Both are currently
owned by QIC, following its acquisition of Garden
Town in January 2009 from Aspen Group, and
there are suggestions the two centres may merge.
