Renew Australia works with broader revitalisation and placemaking initiatives to bring your 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.

- 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

- are all different - each Renew Project is tailored to needs of the street, precinct, town or city in which it is based
Renew Australia works alongside government departments and private sector entities such as:

“Our client’s view is that this is a positive initiative for Wollongong CBD. We anticipate that this project will further stimulate the area by increasing foot traffic and creating a higher chance of securing long term tenants.”
– James Mulcair from Knight Frank Illawarra
