Seaford, Victoria business owners are among a number of local commercial representatives that have expressed interest in being a part of a dedicated business hub and co-working space in the centre of Frankston.
The initiative, introduced by locals James Bertschik and Cam Rambert, has been welcomed by Frankston City Council, which stated it was a `first’ for the city.
Rambert said the aim of the Frankston Foundry, as it is known, is to transform office space located above the Wells Street Commonwealth Bank building into a hub for business. He said the initiative has already attracted great interest, with more than 30 businesses expressing a desire to use the space either casually or on a full-time basis.
The many types of enterprises include everything from software developers and architects to design agencies, printing services and executive coaches.
Rambert said that although Frankston Foundry plans to focus on tech and startup businesses, expressions of interest are welcome from anyone.
He said the initiative provided an important opportunity for home-based and startup businesses to share the space with others with whom they could build partnerships, generate ideas and learn from each other.
Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden said the use of vacant spaces such as this was made possible through the Space Innovators programme, and represented a win-win for all involved. He said this latest initiative will ignite entrepreneurship and innovation throughout the city.
