Carrum Downs Regional Shopping Centre

A parallel development occurred at Carrum Downs. An earlier 1977 residential development known as "Botany Park" involved the construction of brick veneer units in Paddington Avenue. In 1987 a combined town centre with two neighbourhood centres and shopping, entertainment, cultural and neighbourhood facilities was planned. Described as a complex that would "create residential environments, with good environment, with good amenity," it is the site today of the Carrum Downs Regional Shopping Centre.1
