History

Miranda Fair was originally opened in 1964 and was purchased by Westfield in 1969. There have been two major renovations and extensions since then, once in 1971 and again in 1992 giving it 107,000 m² of retail space. Since these openings, other shopping centres have been built and expanded, including Westfield Parramatta and Westfield Bondi Junction, now making it the 8th largest in Australia and the 4th largest shopping centre in Sydney. ^[1]
Miranda Fair is easily distinguishable at night as it has a large eight-pointed star on its rooftop, which use to revolve, but no longer does, and is unique to any Westfield shopping centre. This star is noted on surveying maps and can be used as a point of reference when navigating distances.

Access

There are several large car parking areas around the complex with parking spaces numbering 5000. All parking is free and in peak shopping periods such as Christmas and Boxing Day Sales areas surrounding the centre are leased by management to handle the overflow of demand. Rail access is provided by Miranda railway station on the Illawarra railway line immediately adjacent, making it easily accessible from southern and eastern suburbs of Sydney.
There is a bus stop under cover at the main circular driveway entrance on The Kingsway, as well as a terminus on Kiora Rd, which Westfield Miranda passes over. Cronulla and Caringbah are serviced by BusLink and Caringbah Bus Service buses. Sutherland, Sylvania and Hurstville are serviced by Veolia NSW services. Taren Point, Ramsgate and Rockdale are serviced by Sydney Buses services.
