Consultation
External Consultation - Community & Stakeholder
The initial concept of a Digital Hub was generated from the Peregian Beach Technology
community.
 A Public Tender process was conducted for external Management Services in June 2017. This
process involved significant engagement with a range of individuals and industry experts.
Industry benchmarking and peer-to-peer engagement regarding operation of co-work and
incubator facilities with Ipswich City Council, Brisbane City Council and Sunshine Coast
Innovation Centre has been undertaken to inform the proposed approach.

Specifically for this tenancy process, legal advice was sought from King and Co. and Argon Law.
Ray White Commercial was consulted regarding tenancy documentation.

The Sunshine Coast Innovation Centre kindly provided assistance with documentation and
information that has informed the assessment criteria.

Internal Consultation
The operational project team meets weekly and consists of representatives from economic
development, property, finance and procurement.
