  • "Quite a popular and well maintained place"

    "Was really great, really good coffee lots of friendly faces and an excellent library council office concept , for what most would say is a low socio economic area others (like me) would think it's the Taj , a few zombies here and there to spice it up a bit"

    "Coles, Woolies, Chemist warehouse all the necessities you can get from, Spendless shoes and BigW for clothes and shoes and more plus a new candy store its a pretty alright shopping center although the parent room is not the best and doesn't have an included toilet so you have to leave the room to use the toilet and the toilets in that section haven't been updated in at least 10+ years so I just go to the toilet on the other end of the center"

Quite a popular and well maintained place. Plenty of stores that vary in what they sell. You'll be hard pressed to not find something you're looking for. Convenient stores, appliances, electronics, eye glasses, a news agency and more. There's multiple fast food restaurants nearby, plenty of bus services with a large community library and an army of area wide car parks with disabled parking. The centre itself is decent in size and predominantly one level so very assessable to everyone. I would recommend the centre and the shops within it :) If you're closer to Elizabeth City Centre or Mawson Lakes but feel like something different, then absolutely take a visit.

Was really great, really good coffee lots of friendly faces and an excellent library council office concept , for what most would say is a low socio economic area others (like me) would think it's the Taj , a few zombies here and there to spice it up a bit. Only disappointed was I didn't have any money to sample the food and excellence in mechanicary , bit of a bummer my time being controlled by finance with no opportunity to meet any new interesting nice people ,

Coles, Woolies, Chemist warehouse all the necessities you can get from, Spendless shoes and BigW for clothes and shoes and more plus a new candy store its a pretty alright shopping center although the parent room is not the best and doesn't have an included toilet so you have to leave the room to use the toilet and the toilets in that section haven't been updated in at least 10+ years so I just go to the toilet on the other end of the center.

  • Kate

Parabanks is our main shopping mall and has the essentials: Coles, Woolies,Specsavers, a couple of salons, Big W, Chemist Warehouse and a liquor store. Parking at certain sides of the mall (particularly around Chemist Warehouse) can be a nightmare. I would also be careful around the shops at night time as there are some questionable characters around and I have been cat called, approached & felt unsafe.

  • Cheryl Stone

I bought a jumper from DESTINATION FASHION which was faulty. The rude woman in there began ranting, called me a liar, said GOD would judge me and when she eventually gave me a refund, she took the money out of the till and threw it on the floor. No customer service at all. I would not recommend anyone support her business. She is a nasty, horrible person. Save yourself some stress she ruined my day

  • Jacob Noah

I was forced to remove an item I purchased at another Kmart earlier that day I hadn't kept receipt or lost it so I had to hand back two cars I'd purchased costing me 60 dollars.or.the police were going to be rang now I haven't always been a good citizen for a streak of my life I did take item from shops and I knew ild be in trouble as how was I suppose to prove it

  • May Inferna

Parabanks shopping Centre is a decent shopping centre with plenty of stores to choose from and will cover most peoples needs. It is however also an aging shopping centre with the upstairs completely not used and many of the fittings and stores quite aged. It's still a great shopping centre but don't expect to feel like it's modern or clean feeling.

  • Gary Stasinowsky

Wheelchair access is excellent, some of the stores not so much. Please spare a thought for us 'wheelies'! Chemist Warehouse and The Reject Shop are the worst for access, however, to their credit, the staff are brilliant with customer service, so it's difficult to say this is criticism, rather, please accept this as constructive comment. Thanks.

  • Jay Chamberlain

This shopping centre was alright, it had ups and downs, lets start with the ups. The design and area is fantastic, the stores inside it is everything you could ask for. Now the downs. This shopping centre is one if those shopping centres in a bit or a dodgy area. some of the people that shop here dont always make you feel exactly safe.

  • JenJen Y.

Only went to Big W. Got a milkshake for my 4 year old son and he dropped it outside of Wendy's whike we waited for the rest of our order but they didn't offer to give me a new one, had to buy another one for him. Thought that was a bit rough but ho hum, it wasn't their fault I know but would have been a nice gesture …

  • Naomi Rogers

I shopped in spend less and was served my a lady named Sam. She was very helpful and very friendly. I would give her a 5 star rating but having gone to big w today to find a very minimal range of shoes I wanted. I wasn't happy nore did they sell kids dressy belts. I then had to go to target to get them.

  • Gayle Dolphin

Stopped in to shop but a visit to the loo first was required, but if you have cleaners why were the toilets so dirty especially in our covid times for keeping clean. Maybe a visit from the local health department or council need to check the centre. So we decided to shop elsewhere.

  • James C

Very old, needs a revamp fast. Has shops like Coles, Woolies and big W. Food court is laughable if you can call it that, there's a nice yiros shop and st George's with 2 other cafes. The whole upstairs isn't being used but could easily bring more light to the place. meh .

  • Leonie Turner

Its a very popular place, especially for the local people, as it has the main necessity shops all in one building. And across the road lots of banks, food eateries and the library. Nice people as well as a clean tidy environment. Public toilets seem to be always clean.

  • Melanie “melito” Geidel

Not the same as it used to be.. .i did Not like the look of the dining area..seemed unclean and crowded.. somewhere i wouldnt want to eat and felt like all eyes are on you as you walk past.... no thanks made me feel uncomfortable walking in and out of coles …

  • Harry Peterson

Decent variety of shops. A little small and cant help but feel crowded in, on most occasions I've been here. Ample parking and close to public transport, Banks and food outlets in the surrounding area, if you cant find what you want inside the shopping centre.

  • Robyn Jackson

Great shops, the Kandy house is definitely worth a visit, Chinese takeaway has awesome fried rice and other delights, also a shop fishy ....great r ii ast and veg deal. Good butcher,great f unit and veg,and big W, Coles and Woolworths. Well worth a trip

  • Brianna Thompson

New upgraded area is great. The toilets in the original side not so much. Absolutely appaling, they need to be updated. In the baby room there is no where to feed privately, can't fit a pram/trolley into were your suppose to change nappies etc

  • J. Turner

You can see a range of people here. Some friendly and some not so much and if you are as "lucky" as me you may even run into your mother in law. Cause lets be honest, thats what every man wants when he goes shopping with his wife right!!!!!.

  • Jason Baker

Since the renovations and moving Cole's to where Harris Scarfs was it is so much better and convenient. There needs to be more of an option in the food court. Michelle's Patisserie has been closed down for a while. The new Cole's is big and

  • Jordan Hand

What a great place to shop I have not been to those shopping centres for at least 10 years I went back to do an old shopping way that my mum did that my mum did with the fruit and veg in all with the fruit and veg and all the shops around

  • Slavica Pyne

I found parabanks bigw had the pj I was looking for and the staff were easy to find and helpful but saying that am i was very annoyed that I was still unable to buy under wear in the size I needed after more than a month looking for them

  • Nicholas Dicker

Was quite shocking to see security guards run off their feet, being threatened by thugs in their face, while trying to assist shops dealing with theft from undesirables all at once. Where are the police?? Good way to lose customers. Was

  • Kylie R

Has all the necessary shops for general shopping. The car park however needs some kind of reorganising. It's a nightmare parking out the front near chemist warehouse and the spaces are far too narrow. I avoid busy times for this reason.

  • Just Me Drop in

Grubby environment, full of refugee type of people and lower socio economic lost derelict types. It just has a feel of a Government dumping ground for those type of people. I instead prefer visiting a more civil pleasant environment.

  • Brenton “Abolone” M

Always clean & tidy. You'll find coles & woolies & food court here. Also a wide variety of other stores. Some stores are outside in near by John St or surrounding streets. Not every store in located inside, the precinct.

  • Justin Boxer

Has a Woolworths and a Coles and BigW. Lots of other shops and some different eateries. Also has a Chemist Warehouse. Fairly large shopping centre. I go here occasionally when I am in the area and need something.

  • Darren de la Fuente

I Live very local to Parabanks, there's 2 small supermarkets, & it's kinda a small place, has a Big W. But it's a ok place to shop. Has the BEST Chinese take away, cheap, really good... I'm heading there now!..

  • Helen Lamb

A great place to shop with a mix of retail stores, supermarkets, butcher, fruit n veg and good food. Found this little gem a few months ago and I travel the 45 mins to shop there. Never over crowded either.

  • Aerwyn

There's not much I visit parabanks for these days and the presence of good specialty stores has declined over the past 20 years. Main draw cards being Big W and the major supermarkets, Coles and Woolies.

  • Brian Jonas

Great range of shops found a lot of things I was in need of here from a lot of the places on site ample of parking area's and amenities on site for all also great places to eat inside the center too

  • Paul Lodge

My views ' you visit this complex watching your back! Not a nice shopping experience. Does these shops not worry for the lack of Qualified 'trained Security Guard's? Inside & outside Much Needed!...

  • Robin Singh

Absolutely disgusting toilets, i went there at 0840 am, so they were barely used but found them to be grose and dirty. However an open shopping centre with plenty of shops. It would be nice to have

  • GAYL SUTTON

It's my little shopping centre with great people behind the counters of my stores. The best cafe is right next to Coles for amazing coffee and yummy food, St. George's Bakery and Coffee Lounge

  • Graham Fowler

Some new shops, some old shops and empty shops. Still a useful shopping centre after 40 years. Beyond Bank and Bendigo Bank service centres. Two supermarkets make this a regular shopping mall.

  • Vicki Porter

Although I used to "get lost" in the layout, the signs are adequate. All food stores sell very fresh food items.. Well stocked. Friendly staff and plenty of parking including disabled parking.

  • Sue Anderson

It's just the right size. Enough shops to enjoy but small enough to get in and out quickly. Love how Coles and Woolworths are close together so you can shop and get the best deals from both

  • Silvana Stephan

Hot as hell in summer, air con doesn't work, customers complaining about the year and finding it hard to work in here in the heat, so uncomfortable for everyone. Cleaners are very slack.

  • Alexander Furtado

This place looks even better inside with the refurbishment work done recently. Apart from a new coffee shop next to the entrance of the Coles supermarket nothing else seems to be new.

  • Colin Moffatt

Being a queenslander I find attitudes towards customers poor.but then maybe I expect the same good service I get in stockyard shopping centre in rockhampton where customers are valued

  • Helean Walter

Enjoyable, but being disabled, & on a gopher, I found, not enough room to maneuver, around the merchandise,....aisles, much too narrow.....in just SOME Shops !!! Nice Shopping centre.

  • Barb Giardina

Not enough trolley racks near disability car park. However the malls are clean, good seating, wide enough for the flow of pedestrians. Good variety of shops and food outlets.

  • michelle geraghty

I always have a reasonably good day when shopping here. The staff are normally cheerful & friendly, ready to assist whenever required. I thoroughly recommend this store.

  • Heather Lawson

The stores are always clean unfortunately my husband tends to lose his bearings due to shape of centre. Coles is great but Woollies could use enlarging and freshening up

  • B Hannam

Good smaller shopping centre, has a Great Coles Supermarket, Average Woolworths, Big W and variety of smaller shops and places to eat. Clean but the rest needs updating

  • Tay

I always give my change to the homeless who like to hang out out the frount. It's a small gesture but totally worth it. 777 Love one another and help those in need

Very good location. A person can buy everything of need in a single trip. The store have good quality stuff, although I don't know about the security measures there.
