Renew Australia works with broader revitalisation and placemaking initiatives to bring towns and mainstreets to life.
We support communities and property owners in making their vacant shops, offices, and buildings available rent free or low cost to artists, creative projects, start-up businesses and community initiatives.

Revitalising spaces
Renew Australia is a national social enterprise. Our goal is to create opportunities for artists, creatives, and social enterprises, and bring life and activity to streets and towns while doing so.
Our services include:
- Scoping and feasibility studies
- Managed Renew Australia projects
- DIY projects in our Affiliate program
- Consultant services
Our projects:
- promote community renewal,
- increase activity and foot-traffic,
- use specialised contracts and insurance,
- generate opportunities for creative and start-up businesses, not-for-profits, and social enterprises
- compliment, not compete with, local businesses and traders
- are all different - each Renew Project is tailored to needs of the street, precinct, town or city in which it is based
Renew Australia is an apolitical organisation. We’re not part of the government nor do we have an allegiance to any political party. We work alongside government departments and private sector entities such as:
- Economic Development departments,
- Arts and Cultural services,
- City Centre Management teams,
- Council Placemakers,
- Creative Placemakers
- Traders associations
- Property Developers
- Shopping Centres
Being provided a space through Renew Australia is invaluable. It allows us to offer affordable risograph printing, workshops and retail space to students, artists and designers in Sydney and around Australia. We also love being part of the Renew Australia creative community and have forged strong ties with other program participants.

We love seeing people making and creating!
Here are some happy customers learning about the art of silversmithing at Rose Mercer Jewellery Artists Ring Making Workshops. Rose hosts small groups in her beautiful studio and retail space in the heart of Cairns CBD.
Part of being a Renew participant is holding workshops, lessons and events to bring people into the precinct, and creativity into the community. It’s a win for everyone!
