Origin of the Highlands Hub Co-working, Meeting and Training Facility
In 2022 Glen Innes Severn Council received a $616,861 grant from the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund jointly funded by the Commonwealth and the NSW Government under Disaster Funding Arrangements.
The “Old Holden Building” showroom has been transformed and activated to provide a place where people can hire, meet, learn or teach - from hot desks to meeting rooms and a cosy community coworking lounge - you can join us for an hour, a day, a week, a month or longer.
Impact of the Highlands Hub
The Highlands Hub has quickly become a vibrant community connector and catalyst for local opportunity in Glen Innes. It has created an inclusive, welcoming space where people can learn, collaborate and build confidence with digital skills, creative practice and entrepreneurship.
The Hub supports local businesses, workers and visitors through coworking, training, mentoring and events, while strengthening social connection and reducing isolation.
It has attracted new partnerships, showcased local talent, and encourages innovation. By providing affordable access to technology, ideas and networks, the Hub is helping to grow skills, create pathways to employment, and build a more resilient, connected and future-ready community.
