Centro Karingal was opened in 1978 as the Karingal Hub Shopping Centre, and has had many incremental expansions over time. In 2006, redevelopment of the shopping centre included refurbishment of the inner and outer facades and additional retail stores inside. In 2005 the centre's entertainment and well being section was opened and named Star Zone Karingal. Centro Karingal has two main local shopping centre competitors, Bayside Shopping Centre and the Frankston Power Centre, both located less than 5 kilometres from Karingal.

Famous quotes containing the words history and/or developments:
“Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
“I don’t wanna live in a city where the only cultural advantage is that you can make a right turn on a red light.
Freedom from labor itself is not new; it once belonged among the most firmly established privileges of the few. In this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
