They said a few things were thrown around in the fight, including a chair in the food court, and the fog cannon at a nearby Michael Hill Jewellers store was triggered.
The Michael Hill Jewellers store was shuttered after the incident. Ambulance and mall security were also at the scene.
Police confirmed the men arrested "are members or associates of the Rebels gang".
Acting Inspector Matt Child said initial reports that came into police around 1pm stated that those fighting were carrying knives and other objects.
"Police were at the mall within minutes and immediately took two people into custody on site," Child said.
He confirmed staff at Michael Hill Jewellers activated a fog cannon as the fight took place as a precaution.
Both men are facing charges over fighting in a public place.
"Inquiries continue to locate at least two others involved in the fight," police said.
