Co-working space in Parramatta filling a need

Co-working space options in Parramatta attract small business owners 

The focus on working in Parramatta often falls on the big end of town but there are also lots of small businesses operating in the growing Central River City.

Small business owners and workers like Parramatta because it’s centrally located, provides business growth opportunities, has great transport connections, and offers plenty of options like co-working spaces and serviced offices.

The benefits of co-working spaces

Co-working spaces suit many different types of businesses like startups, small businesses and companies in transition. There are many different benefits of using a co-working environment.

Ease of use

It’s easy and fast to get set up, flexible with no long-term agreements, affordable in comparison to traditional office space and everything is provided like furniture and wi-fi.

Resource and knowledge sharing

Co-working spaces are attractive because people can share resources like office space and equipment, but also ideas.

Flexibility or full service

Typically, a worker who becomes a member of a co-working space can locate there on a full-time, part-time, or even one-off basis.

In contrast, the more traditional serviced office model provides individuals or small groups with an office with shared services like reception, meeting rooms, and more.

Networking

One of the lesser considered benefits of a co-working space is opportunities to network. Meeting new people with different business and life experiences is a great way to grow and gain more knowledge.

When many goal-oriented and accomplished people share the same space at work, there are chances to meet great thinkers, established businesspeople, and entrepreneurs.

Better connectivity and networking have been shown to help grow businesses. There is a possibility that the people with whom you are sharing the office space may become your clients or provide you with references.

The Western Sydney Startup Hub (WSSH), located in the revitalised Parramatta North Heritage Precinct, offers 1,500 square metres of affordable coworking space, making it the ideal suburban office alternative for individuals and small to growing teams. Thoughtfully designed to maximise space and light, the Hub features private spaces accommodating 1 to 40 people, 24/7 access, and flexible membership options, including private offices, coworking spaces, and resident desks.

Beyond workspace, WSSH provides a range of amenities, including convenient parking, event spaces, meeting rooms, boardrooms, breakout areas, and end-of-trip facilities such as showers and bike storage.

In addition to space, WSSH members gain access to the expansive Australia-wide Spacecubed community.

Spacecubed began operating the space in 2022. The Founder and Managing Director, Brodie McCulloch, said the hub will cement Western Sydney as a top destination for innovation and technology on the global stage.

"The innovation and technology sector is rapidly growing in Sydney and we’re privileged to play a key role in its expansion as part of the WSSH. This is an opportunity to provide amazing facilities and programs to the local community along with hosting a range of activities that will drive collaboration and growth opportunities across the sector. Together with the NSW Government, we will help drive Western Sydney as a competitive place for business investment for forward-thinking innovators, entrepreneurs and change-makers,” Mr McCulloch said.
