Our recent Renew Bayside webinar featured special guest speaker Christopher Saunders - former Renew Newcastle General Manager. Chris shared his experience, knowledge and insights inspiring with how we can Renew Bayside.
 

The Renew model is based on making a city work for people with creativity, not capital. Retailers can borrow empty properties on a rolling 30-day licence agreement and it's cost-neutral to the property owner. In Newcastle, it led to a 60%+ drop in vacancy rates, 26% decrease in property crime and 500,000+ more tourists each year. It includes mentorship to the business owners along with a support network.

​

Renew Newcastle delivered $3million to the Newcastle economy and provided an opportunity for new start-up businesses that didn’t have the available capital to commit to long-term leases.

​

We are now calling for Expressions of Interest from makers, creatives, artists, photographers, fashion designers or other businesses who create work that is their own intellectual property and who may have a unique product or service to offer. 

​

We are also seeking interest from landlords and real estate agents who may have space available, large or small.
 

Get in touch by filling in the form – we look forward to hearing from you.
