The first phase of The Village Centre was completed in February 2002 with 12 line shops and Pick n Pay secured as the anchor tenant.

The second phase was opened in December 2003 which introduced 9 additional line shops and the final phase opened in February 2010. All in all there are 27 shops covering approximately 5400m² offering a true “one stop shop” and thus a complete and more convenient shopping experience.

The Village Centre features contemporary Village architecture, covered and paved pathways, Village Corner and Village Walk style shopping areas.

The safety of shoppers features prominently, and with this in mind, there is a CCTV system and control room in place. This feature, together with competent and customer-friendly security personnel, means that the entire shopping centre is covered 24 hours a day. Other features include paraplegic access to all shops.

Close to 150 jobs have been created and community involvement and benefits are pivotal to The Village Centre – from using local suppliers for the development, building and leasing aspects, to regular specials and a weekly Pensioners’ Day.

In every way possible we have tried to create a shopping centre that works with, as well as for, the residents of the surrounding areas.
