Centro Mount Gambier is the largest shopping centre in the Mount Gambier area. Opened in 1986 as The Lakes Plaza, it has expanded to a total of 42 stores. It is located in the Central Business District of Mount Gambier.

History
The first wing of the complex was opened on October 3, 1986 by John Olsen, then State Opposition Leader. This originally encompassed Kmart and twenty other speciality stores. This wing remains mostly intact today with some minor alterations to stores.

In 1999, an extension was opened that added another 20 stores and a Bi-Lo supermarket. This extension also included the building of a new undercover car part across from the site and the addition of a Food Court to supplement the café in the centre at the time.
