The Oasis Shopping Centre is situated on Broadbeach Mall within Broadbeach, part of the Gold Coast, Queensland region in Australia.
Originally acquired from Thakral Holdings by Brookfield Asset Management in 2012, ownership changed hands in March 2015 when Abacus Property Group and KKR purchased the property for $103 million.
History
Prior to development, the location served as a mineral sand mining site before the construction of the Lennons Broadbeach Hotel in 1955. The hotel was demolished in 1987, after which the area underwent redevelopment to become the Oasis Centre, officially opening its doors on 29 August 1989.
Stores and services
The centre houses a variety of retail shops alongside a broad range of professional services. These include medical and dental practices, fitness and wellness facilities such as massage and yoga studios, as well as accounting, financial, and legal consultancy firms. Additionally, it hosts a language school and a travel club.
Monorail
The Oasis Monorail connected key locations including the beach, the shopping centre itself, the Sofitel Gold Coast resort, and Jupiters Hotel & Casino. It featured two stations within The Oasis (located on level 2) and one station at Jupiters. Launched in 1989 under the name Gol'Coasta, the system incorporated tracks and trains sourced from England's Merry Hill Shopping Centre following their acquisition in 2001. After a maintenance-related shutdown in late 2013, operations resumed in December 2014; however, the monorail ceased permanently on 29 January 2017 as part of plans for substantial redevelopment of the centre.
