Entrepreneurs set to light up Digital Hub
|
Noosa Council has approved an exciting tenancy mix for the new Digital Hub at Peregian Beach.
It follows a tender for private office tenancies and a registration of interest process for co-workers.
“The market response demonstrates that the digital sector is an emerging, but fast-growing, component of Noosa’s economy,” says Chris Boden, Director of the new Hub.
Once lease negotiations with the successful tenderers are concluded, the Hub will comprise private office spaces on the upper floor with co-work opportunities for individual entrepreneurs on the ground floor.
The conclusion of the initial tenancy process will see over 20 technology businesses and entrepreneurs in the new building. This equates to approximately 50 people employed and based at the Hub, with forecasted growth to reach 75 jobs within a 12-18 month period. Read more.
