[edit] History
Rockdale Plaza opened in 1997 on the former site of a Waltons department store and outdoor retail complex. Waltons moved to Westfield Hurstville in 1979 and the department store site was used for market stalls for a few years, until it was abandoned and fell into disrepair. The remaining outdoor shopping complex continued to operate until the mid 1990s with Flemings and Franklins supermarkets and a number of specialty shops.
The site was extensively redeveloped in the 1990s to create a shopping centre below a number of residential apartment towers.
