Shoppers spent nearly $2 billion at Chadstone last year, making it the highest-turnover shopping centre in the country.

But the centre has been plagued with parking issues for more than six months with shoppers complaining about hour-long delays to find a car spot.

Centre manager Michael Whitehead said Chadstone was always trying to improve customer experiences.

“Through this partnership access to the fashion capital has never been easier,” Mr Whitehead said.

The Chadstone carpark was labelled chaotic and a “major safety hazard” after shoppers were directed to a dark, gridlocked area in April.
