Channel Court is a sub regional shopping centre located on the Channel Highway, Kingston, Tasmania. For many years the shopping centre was considered very small and inadequate to the needs of the local population. However, since being Purchased by the Behrakis Group in June of 2004 the centre has undergone a complete transformation. Tasmania's largest Big W was opened at the shopping centre on April 5, 2006, and it is planned that by 2009 Channel court will be one of the largest shopping Centres in Tasmania.
Extensive redevelopment took place through 2011 and 2012, and is still in progress, with plans for a new full-sized Woolworths store, cinema complex and foodcourt.
Famous quotes containing the words channel, court, shopping and/or centre:
“There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist’s relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist’s concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“To take revenge halfheartedly is to court disaster: Either condemn or crown your hatred.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
“The most important fact about our shopping malls, as distinct from the ordinary shopping centers where we go for our groceries, is that we do not need most of what they sell, not even for our pleasure or entertainment, not really even for a sensation of luxury. Little in them is essential to our survival, our work, or our play, and the same is true of the boutiques that multiply on our streets.”
—Henry Fairlie (1924–1990)
“A daze had come over his mind, he had another centre of consciousness. In his breast, or in his bowels, somewhere in his body, there had started another activity.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
