Overview
Oasis Shopping Centre is a retail and services complex located on Broadbeach Mall in Broadbeach, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. It serves the surrounding Gold Coast community and visitors to the Broadbeach precinct, combining conventional shopping with a broad range of professional, health, wellness, education, travel and food-related services. The centre is therefore more than a standard retail strip: its tenant mix has included medical and dental practices, fitness and massage businesses, yoga providers, accountants, financial and legal advisers, a language school and a travel club, alongside retail stores. The property occupies a site with a longer history of commercial and leisure use. Before development, the land was a mineral-sand mine. A Lennons Broadbeach Hotel was subsequently built on the site in 1955. That hotel was demolished in 1987, after which the property was redeveloped as the Oasis Centre. The new complex opened on 29 August 1989, establishing a shopping and entertainment destination within the growing Broadbeach area. A notable feature of the centre was its internal and precinct-linked monorail. The service began operating with the shopping centre in 1989 under the name Gol’Coasta. It ran on a loop connecting Beachside station, Sofitel station within the centre, and Jupiter's Casino station. The monorail formed part of the area's visitor-oriented transport and entertainment offer for nearly three decades, but operations ended in 2017. Ownership of the property changed during the 2010s. Brookfield Asset Management purchased the centre from Thakral Holdings in 2012. In March 2015, the property was purchased by Abacus Property Group and KKR. Publicly available reference material identifies these transactions but does not establish a current owner beyond that 2015 acquisition. Oasis Shopping Centre remains associated with Broadbeach's mixed retail, tourism and service economy, although detailed current tenant, management and financial information is not established in the supplied sources.
History
Oasis Shopping Centre stands on Broadbeach Mall in Broadbeach, a Gold Coast suburb in Queensland. The site's development history predates the shopping centre itself. It was formerly used as a mineral-sand mine, reflecting the area's earlier extractive and coastal-industrial activity. In 1955, the Lennons Broadbeach Hotel was constructed on the property, giving the site a prominent hospitality and tourism role. The hotel was demolished in 1987 as the property was prepared for redevelopment. The replacement project created the Oasis Centre, which opened on 29 August 1989. Its development coincided with the continuing growth of Broadbeach as a Gold Coast destination combining accommodation, entertainment, shopping and tourism. From its opening, the centre was designed to support more than ordinary retail activity. Its stores and services have included doctors, dentists, fitness and massage operators, yoga businesses, accounting firms, financial and legal advisers, a language school and a travel club, in addition to retail tenants. The centre also had a transport and entertainment attraction in the form of a monorail. Beginning in 1989, the service was initially called Gol’Coasta. Its route formed a loop linking Beachside station, Sofitel station within the shopping centre and Jupiter's Casino station. This connection tied the centre to nearby hotels and leisure destinations and helped reinforce its role within Broadbeach's visitor economy. The monorail operated for many years but was ultimately discontinued in 2017. The property changed hands during the 2010s. Brookfield Asset Management bought Oasis Shopping Centre from Thakral Holdings in 2012. In March 2015, Abacus Property Group and KKR purchased the centre. The supplied reference material does not provide later ownership changes, detailed operating results, current management names or a complete contemporary tenant directory. Accordingly, the centre's documented identity is best understood through its location, mixed service-and-retail model, development history, former monorail and recorded ownership transactions.
