Cars, trucks, vans, taxis – even a bus – are littered through the shopping centre carparks of Northcote, but at least one mystery about why they are there has been solved.
Northcote Plaza, to borrow from Winston Churchill, is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.
Most of the vehicles have no number plates, some have weeds growing around the tyres. A few are covered in graffiti or damaged by vandals. One theory is that the plaza is acting as a pseudo impound lot for the police. However, a police spokesperson said that was not the case and the cars have nothing to do with them.The property is owned by Northcote Plaza management, who did not respond to a request for comment.
