A few years ago with the demise of Daimaru department store and the development of Southbank, it suffered and shoppers dwindled away. But recently the place has undergone a major overhaul and business is slowly returning.
Hoyts Cinemas Complex is the latest tenant here along with many other variety stores. Even the musical clock was taken off and undergone some refurbishment and repair and now is back on its rightful place. The clock is very popular with everyone both the locals as well as the tourists with its music playing every hour on the hour.
The Shot Tower is still there, the original building before the complex was built over it and a glass cone was built to cover the whole tower. It was good to come back here for a stroll, haven't been here for quite some times myself..

Nothing about it is new and improved!! If anything it did not need to be changed to the sort of degree it is today regardless of Daimaru's departure!! The level 1 balcony could've stayed the shot tower cafe could've stayed and the chain did not to be removed from the fob watch and neither did the glass lifts from the Lonsdale st entrance. I still think their were better architect's that could've been rewarded the project! ARM are a complete joke!!! It was fine to change everything else but those four things should've never been changed!!!
