When the Canberra Centre opened as the Monaro Mall in 1963, it was Australia's first fully enclosed, air-conditioned shopping mall. Notably, it was also the first shopping centre in Canberra to introduce car park ticket machines, setting a precedent for automated parking solutions in the region .Today, the car park boasts over 5,000 spaces across multiple levels, equipped with electronic park assist technology to streamline the parking experience.
