Southland shopping centre was designed by Melbourne architects Tomkins, Shaw & Evans, who had previously designed Westfield Miranda (then Miranda Fair) in 1964. At the time of its opening, in September 1968, Southland was one of the premier shopping centres in Melbourne. It was, by modern standards, a relatively small shopping centre with only a handful of large stores, including a Myer department store and a Safeway supermarket, plus a few dozen other smaller retailers, banks and cafes. An unusual feature was a roof garden with lawns, shrubs and trees. Another notable design feature were wall murals in the hallways leading in from the entrances that featured original abstract art work on ceramic tiles. Architectural photographer Wolfgang Sievers took a series of striking images of the building soon after it opened and these are now held by the National Library of Australia. Architects Tomkins, Shaw & Evans received the Victoria Award in 1969 for their design of Southland, beating the National Gallery of Victoria for the award. This was during a period when shopping centres were recognised "for the quality of their design or amenity". During Southland's history, many renovations and face lifts have shaped the centre, such as the first expansion in 1987 and the development of a Village Cinemas complex and food court in 1990. The rooftop garden was removed upon first redevelopment and was replaced with a third level of stores.

Prior to the extension, the Southland shopping centre had very limited development options. In June 1991, Westfield developers began discussions with the City of Moorabbin about the rezoning of the Cheltenham market area in order for them to construct a multimillion dollar extension of Southland as part of a major redevelopment. The original plan was to have replaced the market with a ten storey office tower and a two level shopping centre, with a retail bridge connecting the new centre with the existing Westfield Centre over the eight lane Nepean Highway. The new centre would feature a discount supermarket and a regular supermarket as well as new speciality stores. All up, the whole centre would comprise up to 360 stores. In June 1993, planning approval was given by the Minister for Planning Rob Maclellan. In December 1996, plans were changed in favour of better car park arrangements as well as easier access to the centre. The centre would soon feature more than 400 stores across three levels.) was added. During this time, the Myer anchor moved from the original site to the newer site. Construction was not just limited to the new site with the original site being upgraded to include a new larger cinema complex, in the youth oriented mall called The Street. The redevelopment was opened in stages, with The Street opening in April 1999. The main part of the redevelopment, the additional site and bridge were opened on 28 October 1999. The $300 million redevelopment was completed on 5 May 2000, with the opening of the David Jones Department store. Subsequently, another $13 million was used for additional work, which included construction of shaded car park areas, two new car park ramps as well as a large glass window attached to the second level of the retail bridge, which has views 16 kilometres in the distance of the Melbourne CBD.

From 2002, the Victorian State Government has designated Southland as one of 26 Principal Activity Centres in the city, as described in the Melbourne 2030 Metropolitan Strategy. A focal point of the activity centre has been public transport; a 2002 planning report found gaps in Melbourne's transit pertaining to Southland, particularly its lack of transport accessibility. In 2013, Public Transport Victoria (PTV) released its 20 year Network Development Plan; the report found that a railway station at Southland would need to be built within the next five years, as to improve Melbourne's transport system. In 2015, the Victorian Government committed to building a railway station at Southland to serve the busy shopping centre. Construction on Southland railway station commenced in 2016 and it was completed and opened in November 2017.

Westfield Southland features up to 400 tenants including major retailers such as Myer, David Jones Limited, Coles Supermarkets, Woolworths Supermarkets, Aldi, Target Australia, Big W, Kmart Australia, Harris Scarfe, and Village Cinemas. The mini major retailers include JB Hi Fi, Best & Less, Sephora, Cotton On Super Store, Rebel Sport, and Apple. Cheltenham Activity Centre Structure Plan – "Background Report".
