Macarthur Square is a shopping centre on the southern side of Campbelltown, New South Wales, Australia. The shopping centre is owned by the Lend Lease Corporation and GPT. The shopping centre is situated adjacent to Macarthur Railway Station, where trains terminate on the Airport & East Hills line.

An AUD $160 million expansion in 2005, which expanded the centre's floor area from 29,000m2 to 90,0002, saw Macarthur Square become one of the largest shopping complexes in Sydney.

This area opened during the most recent expansion in November 2005. A Borders bookstore opens onto Kellicar Lane, and above Borders is a food court that has large glass windows that look over Kellicar Lane, Campbelltown and the surrounding countryside.

History

Macarthur Square was opened in 1979 by The Hon. Paul Landa, Minister for Planning and Environment at the time. Macarthur Square was seen as a major regional shopping centre for the Macarthur Growth Centre in south-western Sydney. The NSW State Planning Authority purchased large tracts of land in the Campbelltown area in the 1960s. The Authority produced a structure plan in 1973 under the title of the Campbelltown-Camden-Appin Three Cities Plan. State and Commonwealth funding established a growth centre in the region. An agreement between the Liberal Government in NSW and the Whitlam Labor Government in Canberra provided funds for land acquisition and urban development. The Growth Centre was called Macarthur Growth Centre and established a development board. The Macarthur Development Board bought and sold land, developed industrial estates and the Macarthur Square shopping centre. (Source: John Toon (2003) Sydney Planning or Politics (p99))
