Renew Geelong is an initiative by Renew Australia to activate vacant spaces in Central Geelong through incubating short-term uses by creative enterprises and independent local initiatives on a rent-free basis via a 30-day rolling license.
You can learn more about them via their website or Facebook page.
Concept Space
The space is located at 105 – 107 Moorabool Street.
This was the first space to be activated as part Renew Geelong. We were fortunate enough to see the area evolve during August, 2018. You can see how it changed during this process at Renew Geelong Concept Space Has Launched.
This area had previously been a bank.
