Q: The Harris Street Oval in Warrnambool was formerly what facility?
Tuesday April 7 Answer.
A: Target.
When Target opened in Warrnambool in 1970, it had an historic place in the company’s story.
It was the first Target store built in Victoria.
The day was September 16 and the people of Warrnambool were well aware of the significance of the occasion, with a huge crowd turning out for the first day of trade.
One of the features of the store was what was just outside its front doors.
There was shopping centre, known as Hanover Arcade.
This was to become a centrepiece of the Warrnambool CBD during its prime days of the 1970s and 1980s.
