SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 6 AUGUST 2019
The Hub’s Co-Lab space hosts an exciting program of events and activities. It features a creative
studio and makerspace, presentation space with grandstand and a modular classroom for
mentoring and skills development. An on-site barista and reception service (Barception) operates
from the Hub’s canteen.
The Hub vision and purpose has evolved throughout the 1st year of operation and can currently
be expressed in the following terms:
“The Hub vision is to help make Noosa the best community on earth for people who want to work
in the digital economy, play by the ocean and raise a family.
Our mission is to foster a digital ecosystem which attracts entrepreneurs, talent and clientele
from around the world and provides meaningful employment for thousands of residents.
We will achieve this by attracting, supporting and developing the talent that make this possible”
1. FINANCE
The viability of the Hub is tightly coupled to the health of Noosa’s emerging digital ecosystem.
Without a strong base of technology entrepreneurs and digital businesses, there will be
insufficient demand to sustain the Hub’s facilities and services.
The objective of the Hub is therefore to operate a commercially sustainable digital co-work facility
whilst delivering public service outcomes that develop the digital ecosystem and assist to meet
the objectives of Council’s Local Economic Plan.
