History

The Interchange in 2005 before it was demolished to make way for the Epping to Chatswood rail link

The Interchange opened in the mid-1980s integrated with the station entrance. It featured around 30 speciality stores with no anchor stores.

With the construction of the Chatswood to Epping line, The Interchange as well as Chatswood railway station and its attached bus interchange was demolished in 2005.[1] Construction started on new railway station, bus interchange and shopping centre in late-2005. The CTI was constructed as a Public Private Partnership and was to include a new shopping centre called 'Metro Chatswood' and three towers. The private developers, CRI Chatswood, went into receivership whilst construction was underway. As a result, the shopping centre remained vacant until 2014 and major construction of the towers was delayed for several years.[2]

The centre opened in 2014 as Chatswood Interchange. Woolworths opened its 2000sqm store and its BWS chain opened on the ground level.[3] Many kiosks have opened in stages and the post office has relocated there.[4]

As a result Chatswood Interchange is expected to reach $634 million by 2026 and can support trade for over 75,150 people.[5]
