The QSBC has partnered with Renew Australia to offer a do-it-yourself (DIY) place activation program tailored to support small businesses in small towns across regional and remote Queensland.
The Regional Place Activation Program aims to help local small businesses evolve and cultivate more vibrant and active precincts.
It is a collaboration between Small Business Friendly Program members and property owners to offer local creative small businesses and entrepreneurs rent free access to vacant commercial spaces in main streets and town centres.
Councils with a population of less than 50,000, who are members of the SBF Program were invited to apply to participate in this program.
The councils selected for the cohort 1 are:
The councils selected for the cohort 2 are:
Expressions of interest (EOI) opened on Monday 23 September 2024 for creative Queensland small businesses who are in the cohort 1 council areas and are interested in participating in the program!
The EOI for creative Queensland small businesses in Cohort 2 council areas will open in December 2024.
If you are interested in this exciting program and want to learn more or submit an Expression of interest, visit the QSBC Regional Place Activation Program page on the Renew Australia website.
