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
“We are excited about the contribution that the Renew Wollongong Program can make and its potential to inject new ideas. In conjunction with the existing businesses in the precinct, Renew Wollongong will give residents and visitors alike another good reason to visit.”
– Wollongong City Lord Mayor Councillor Gordon Bradbery AM

The continued support of the creative, craft & Mr Mac community is humbling and what inspires me to keep creating on this path when I need it the most. A dedication to introduce more sustainable couture and knot-wear clothing focussed on craftsmanship and story telling through fashion.

Over the years there’s been manyyy failed applications and submissions, but to finally get recognised for the work by industry experts is pretty bloody awesome 🙇
