Creation of a purpose-built digital hub that comprises a mix of rooms to hire, training rooms for education providers including Universities and South West TAFE, collaboration spaces for local businesses and mentoring spaces for Council staff to assist community groups and run programs.
A needs analysis has been completed and a location for the facility has been identified in-principle within the Hamilton CBD.
Council has been actively engaging with Department Jobs Precincts and Regions, South West TAFE, Deakin University and UniSA and will consolidate this feedback with additional information from Hamilton Regional Business Association and likely local business interests. Feedback suggests a significant number of businesses believe a Digital Hub will help them be more innovative, grow and reduce costs.
