Keep for now, there is some coverage on the mall apart from the bomb scare. The article is good but needs some improvement but most importantly references.

Delete. Doesn't appear to meet GNG. I looked long and hard for references because if the claims in the "Beginnings" section are true, I would expect national or at least regional coverage. No luck, though, so I also question whether the unreferenced claims in the article are factual. ~

Delete: the content is very difficult to

Redirect to
Kmart#Australia and New Zealand where I have added a single sentence edit sourced to a leading Australian daily. Reason is, that although my searches turn up only ROUTINE coverage of Burwood One, a newish shopping mall ("Santa will arrive at Burwood One on...",) the Burwood One site and building that was Australia's first Kmart. In Australia in 1969, the advent of Kmart was a big deal. And the fact that it was a big deal in 1969 was revisited in the press when this mall replace Kmart in 2010.

That redirect seems like it may be a surprise; does a general reader who searches "Burwood One" expect to end up on "Kmart"? ~

Redirect - The claim to fame seems to be that it was the first Kmart in Australia, and there was a minor bomb scare that turned out to be a broken toy. The only item worthy here is the Kmart history, and turns out there's a
Kmart Australia article. I added Burwood One info there as well, and placed the main template in the
Kmart#Australia and New Zealand section [
[1]]. — Preceding
