There are also one and a half hour (P90) parking zones for those looking to make a more express visit. Look out for the markings to make sure you park in the right space.
Free extended parking
If you really want to make a day of it and think you will be visiting us for more that 4 hours then please visit the Customer Services Desk on Level 1. The kind staff there will give you an extended parking coupon which will last for the whole day. You will need to display this on your dashboard. Remember, car parks are for the use of Chartwell customers only, so please don't be offended if you are asked to verify that you have been shopping at the Centre.

Kids play area
Kids love to play and we have the perfect play area for our visitors under 5. If they need some down time from the shops head along to our play area in the foodcourt on Level 2 outside EVENT Cinemas. You must supervise your children as Chartwell Shopping Centre does not provide supervision. To keep our play area safe and clean we ask that kids please remove their shoes and have no food or drink in this area. Chartwell takes no responsibility for any injury from the use of the play area. Any use of this area by children outside of age limit is deemed unauthorised use.

If you forgot the stroller or someone’s legs are getting too tired, we have some wheels available to hire. You can pick up a stroller from our Customer Services Desk. There is no charge, however photo ID is required and terms and conditions apply.
Little Royal Carriages are also available for hire from the Customer Services Desk. We have single and double seating models, and trust us, the Little Royal Carriage is the coolest way to get around! An hourly charge applies for Carriages—$5 per single, $8 per double—and photo ID is required.
Have a date with your little one and attend one of our Little Mornings for preschoolers. It’s the perfect place to catch up with other Mums, Dads and caregivers and there will be some fun activities for the littlies. Our Little Mornings run year round and take place on the third Tuesday of the month from 10am to 12noon.
Our Mall Walkers meet at the Countdown entrance every Tuesday morning at 7.00am and then catch up for a coffee after they have done their laps of the Centre (usually about 8.00am).
Heather is our coordinator and is the best point of contact. We would encourage anyone interested to contact Heather first so that we can expect/welcome them.
