Pacific Epping is on the corner of High Street and Cooper Street in Epping, about 1 kilometre from Epping Station, and its car park has 4-hour, 2-hour and 1-hour limits. The centre says it is open seven days a week. This guide sets out what the centre’s own Getting Here, Parking and Opening Hours pages say, as read on Sunday 8 November 2026.
How do I get to Pacific Epping by train?
The centre says to take the Mernda Line to Epping Station, then walk to the centre or connect to one of the bus services that travel to Pacific Epping. It puts Epping Station about 1 kilometre from the centre. The centre points to the Public Transport Victoria Journey Planner for train times, and gives the PTV phone number as 1800 800 007.
Which buses stop at Pacific Epping?
Pacific Epping lists these bus services as stopping at the centre: routes 357, 358, 555, 556, 569 and 577, and SmartBus route 901. The main bus stops are on Cooper Street, next to the centre and close to the Big W entrance.
| Item | What the centre says |
|---|---|
| Routes | 357, 358, 555, 556, 569, 577 and SmartBus 901 |
| Main stops | Cooper Street, adjacent to the centre, close to the Big W entrance |
| Places the services connect to | Epping Station, Wollert, Thomastown, Reservoir, Northland Shopping Centre, South Morang, Greensborough, Broadmeadows and Melbourne Airport |
| Times | Not given; the centre points to the PTV Journey Planner and PTV on 1800 800 007 |
Routes 358, 555, 556, 569, 577 and 901 are also the routes that Northern Health lists as stopping out the front of Northern Hospital Epping; our guide to hospital parking at Epping and Mernda has that list.
Where can I park, and for how long?
The centre says time limits were introduced to give shoppers better access to the car parking spaces closest to the entrances. The limits are 4 hours, 2 hours and 1 hour. Parking closest to the supermarkets and H&G is limited to 2 hours, and the centre says signs in every parking zone show the limit that applies.
| Question | What the centre says |
|---|---|
| Where do I enter the car park? | From both High Street and Cooper Street |
| Which roads lead to the centre? | High Street, Cooper Street and Dalton Road, with connections to the M80 Ring Road and Hume Freeway |
| What is the time limit nearest the supermarkets? | 2 hours |
| What happens if I stay too long? | “You risk a fine”, according to the parking page; you must not park longer than the time shown on the sign |
| Who do I contact? | Centre Management on (03) 9401 4111 |
The parking page says it introduced the limits “as of 16th August 2010”, so it does not read like a recent update. It gives no prices and does not say whether parking is charged, so this guide says nothing on that point.
What are the centre’s trading hours this week?
These are the centre hours the opening-hours page listed on Sunday 8 November 2026. The page adds that individual retailers’ trading times may differ.
| Day | Centre hours |
|---|---|
| Sunday 8 November | 10am to 5pm |
| Monday 9 November | 9am to 5:30pm |
| Tuesday 10 November | 9am to 5:30pm |
| Wednesday 11 November | 9am to 5:30pm |
| Thursday 12 November | 9am to 9pm |
| Friday 13 November | 9am to 9pm |
| Saturday 14 November | 9am to 5pm |
When do the big stores open?
The page lists weekly hours for each store. The weekday pattern for the main supermarkets and major retailers is below.
| Store | Hours listed |
|---|---|
| Woolworths | 7am to 10pm every day |
| Coles | 7am to 10pm every day, except Tuesday, which the page lists as 7am to 10am |
| Aldi | 8:30am to 7pm Monday, Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday; to 8pm Wednesday; to 9pm Thursday and Friday |
| Kmart | 8am to midnight every day |
| BIG W | 8:30am to 7pm Monday to Wednesday and Saturday; to 9pm Thursday and Friday; 9am to 6pm Sunday |
| Dan Murphy’s | 9am to 9pm Monday to Saturday; 10am to 7pm Sunday |
| Reading Cinemas | 11am to 9pm, and to 9:30pm on Friday and Saturday |
The page shows an “Opening Soon” label beside many of these stores while also listing their normal hours. This guide does not interpret that label. The Coles Tuesday figure of 10am also looks different from the 10pm on every other day, and the page does not explain it.
Where are the taxi ranks?
Pacific Epping has taxi ranks on both the High Street and Cooper Street sides. The High Street rank is near Australia Post, and the Cooper Street rank is near the Urban Diner Restaurant and Entertainment Precinct. For help during centre trading hours, the centre gives the Centre Management number, (03) 9401 4111.
