Correction (5 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 5 October 2026.
This page reads Mernda’s shopping centres one at a time. Three centres had enough on the public record for us to stand behind them, and all three have a Mernda address. The list is short on purpose: we would rather give you three places we could check than pad it with a fourth we could not.
Each entry sticks to what the centre’s own website, the regional library’s pages or Wikipedia say. Where a centre does not publish something we looked for, such as a street number or centre-wide hours, we say so instead of guessing.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Where |
|---|---|---|
| A supermarket on a published late-night schedule, plus parking technology | Mernda Junction Shopping Centre | Corner of Plenty & Bridge Inn Rd, Mernda |
| A Woolworths-led centre with a library and gym listed inside | Mernda Town Centre | 180 Riverdale Boulevard, Mernda |
| Early starts: the site publishes a 6am opening header | Mernda Village Shopping Centre | 59 Mernda Village Drive, Mernda |
Mernda Junction Shopping Centre — Corner of Plenty & Bridge Inn Rd, Mernda VIC 3754
Wikipedia says Mernda Junction opened in February 2019 on the corner of Plenty Road and Bridge Inn Road. The centre’s own site gives the same corner as its address and does not print a street number, so a satnav search by name will serve you better than a number.
The site publishes core trading hours of Monday to Thursday 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM, Friday 8:00 AM - 6:30 PM, Saturday 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM and Sunday 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM. It lists Coles separately at 7:00 AM - 11:00 PM every day of the week. The site also says “Parking made easy with smart parking technology” and, under shopping, names Daniels Donuts for “a delicious fresh donut, meaty pie or coffee”.
The strip: the centre sits on the Plenty Road and Bridge Inn Road corner, and its site prints that corner rather than a street number.
Mernda Town Centre — 180 Riverdale Boulevard, Mernda VIC 3754
Wikipedia describes Mernda Town Centre as a Woolworths-led shopping centre that opened on 27 October 2022. Its own site sorts its listings under headings that include supermarket, liquor, variety, fresh food, services and dine in or takeaway.
The Yarra Plenty Regional Library says that “Mernda Library is within Mernda Town Centre”, at the same Riverdale Boulevard address. The centre’s site also shows an Anytime Fitness tile under services. The centre-wide opening hours sit behind a “View opening hours” link that we could not read, so this page states none; individual store hours are on the centre’s stores page.
Known for: a supermarket, a public library and a gym tile listed on one site.
Mernda Village Shopping Centre — 59 Mernda Village Drive, Mernda VIC 3754
The centre’s website describes tenants “such as Woolworths, Chemist Warehouse, bakeries, take-away retailers, real estate agents, hairdressers and a café”. Wikipedia calls it a 4000 square metre centre at the corner of Kalkallo Way and Mernda Village Drive with a Woolworths supermarket and 10 speciality stores.
The site’s header reads “Mon – Sun: 6am – 9pm”, and the site footer shows a 2024 copyright date, so check it before a very early trip. Its stores page names Split Bean Cafe, Ray White Mernda, Seasonal Noodle, Jessie’s Pizza and Pasta, Chemist Warehouse, Bakers Delight, Ferguson Plarre Bakehouse, Mernda Nails & Beauty and Sgt. Baker Fish and Chippery alongside Woolworths.
Go for: a single-visit errand run, since the stores page lists a supermarket, pharmacy, two bakeries, a nail and beauty salon and takeaway on one site.
