A creative event and co-working space offering an uncharted platform for Ballarat to connect, innovate, network, inspire and share knowledge.
Including worksettings and gathering space, Co-Space can be utilised for business, workshops, discussions, with a focused event series igniting creative ownership within our community.
The ethos supports business start-ups, the expanding digital economy, provides an inclusive space supporting grassroots design-led culture, and encourages young innovators to form creative careers.
Being a social enterprise, Co-Space will leverage the expertise of a partner, Here Studio, who have already forged various meaningful community engagements in Ballarat and established flourishing urban coworking spaces.
An inclusive, innovative hub that supports our creative community is required for Ballarat’s projected population growth (160,000+ by 2040). Co-Space provides a space championing design, ideas and local excellence - a home for creative professional networks to solidify the urban culture of Ballarat.
To align with thriving hospitality and tourism in Ballarat, Co-Space provides offerings locally that educate, inspire and upskill creatives along their career paths. Our project links us to the global coworking movement, building future working models and liveability in Ballarat.
Partnering with Here Studio ensures a foundation of community engagement, further enhancing Ballarat’s arts and cultural programs.

As a core member of the Wyndham Bizbuddyhub recently moved to Ballarat i can speak from experience that supporting incubators like this is a foundation for the future of collaborative work skills and skilling up new entrepreneurs. Pierre Nunns. Happy to be contacted.
Are you aware that Ballarat already has 2 such coworking spaces? http://playpuscoworking.com.au and http://lab79.io
Thanks Pierre, we feel excited to bring our creative community together and foster growth locally... appreciate your support!

Ballarat has a strong alumni of designers, creatives and entrepreneurs - co-space could help retain some of that talent locally and foster the up-and-comers!
