Renew Australia and Hobsons Bay City Council teamed up to breathe new life into Williamstown’s vacant spaces with exciting creative ideas and enterprises in 2024-2025.
The ‘Renew Williamstown’ project set out to use the Renew Australia’s proven methodology to activate vacant spaces, with a focus on Douglas Parade, Ferguson Street, and Nelson Place.
This program has been discontinued in 2025 and applications are now closed.
If you are a creative looking for opportunities in Victoria, you can also keep an eye on this page or the Renew Australia socials for new and exciting opportunities in the future.

Renew Williamstown is designed to rejuvenate areas experiencing commercial vacancy through increasing foot traffic and activity, whilst supporting local creative and entrepreneurial communities. Through the activation of space and bringing new local ideas and businesses to visible shopfronts, the project aims to support existing traders by drawing people back into this area via events, workshops, exhibitions and classes.
Renew Australia partnered with Hobsons Bay City Council for the Renew Williamstown Program.
