The Bourke Street Mall is Melbourne's main pedestrian mall, located on Bourke Street, the entertainment center of the city. Its current incarnation opened in 1983, though plans for the area were drawn up in the 1960s. The mall is home to many luxury retail outlets as well as Melbourne's first permanent movie theater and remained the cinematic center of the area until recently.
