History
In 1994, Woolworths Limited purchased two-thirds of the former Sunshine Harvester Works site for $10 million, and submitted plans to build a $70 million shopping complex containing a Big W department store, Woolworths supermarket, cinemas, and around 50 shops.[2] Sunshine Marketplace opened on October 11, 1998, and a major redevelopment program was undertaken in 2004. The redevelopment included a new 300-seat Diners Life precinct, refurbishment of the inner and outer facades, additional stores inside and the Village Cinemas Megaplex, which includes the only Intencity Gaming Complex in Melbourne's west.[1]
On 30 January 2016, during a violent storm, the roof of the Village Cinema area began to collapse due to the heavy rain and winds. [citation needed]
