Renew Australia is pleased to announce the launch of our new project in the Goldfields region, where we will be working in Creswick, Clunes and Talbot. For the last few months we have been working with Hepburn Shire Council and the Central Goldfields Shire Council to develop a plan to activate some of the underutilised spaces in these towns. We’ve met with property owners and agents, held public meetings in each town, and we’ve secured a number of properties. Now we need you!
We’ll be launching our Empty Spaces Project website soon, but we’re calling for Expressions of Interest now. We are seeking interesting projects to transform these spaces: artists, makers, designers, photographers, printmakers, illustrators, architects, milliners, jewellers, publishers, and many other creative types.
Properties are available from March and we aim to have the first projects up and running as soon as we can. Expressions of Interest for the first round of projects should be submitted via the online application form on the Renew Australia website by 7 March 2014 AEDT 5.00pm. If more properties become available, there may be an additional Expression of Interest call-out. If you have any questions about the Empty Spaces Project, please email us: melbourne@renewaustralia.org, or ring us on 9982 0785.
