[edit] Definitions of shopping centres in Australia

After a bit of research, I found the following document on the Property Council of Australia website: http://www.propertyoz.com.au/SCCA/2007PDFs/JHD%20Vital%20Statistics%20April01.pdf

It contains the Property Council definitions for types of shopping centres in Australia. The categories are:

• Super Regional Centre - A centre that contains at least one full scale department store (such as Myer or David Jones) with a wide range of other retail facilities, in one integrated structure. The size of this class of centre must be 85,000m² or greater.

• Major Regional Centre - A centre with the same characteristics as above, but with a size of between 50,000m² and 85,000m².

• Regional Centre - Again, same characteristics as above, but with a size of between 30,000m² and 50,000m².

• Sub-Regional Centre - A centre that contains at least one Discount Department Store (DDS) and at least one Supermarket, plus other retail facilities. It may contain a 'junior' full scale department store of between 5,000m² and 6,000m². The minimum size of this centre is at least 20,000m² or greater.

• Neighbourhood Centre - A centre up to 10,000m² in size and contains at least 1 major Supermarket (1,000m² or greater), plus other retail facilities.

Will add the other types later. The above covers most types of shopping centres in Australia.
