SmartHub Rockhampton

We are excited to share that @SmartHubRocky is now operated by Capricorn Business Hub Ltd, a member-based not-for-profit organisation. We look forward to what the future holds for startups, innovation, social enterprises and small businesses in the Rockhampton region.

@iMarkPhillips @lindaamccall @iMarkPhillips @lindaamccall thank you so much for your support especially in the early days when you were based in CQ. We are thankful that all our resident members requiring commercial office space have secured other premises and will continue operating their businesses ☺️.

@SmartHubRocky A very sad day for CEQ. @lindaamccall & I wish all the team, the entrepreneurs & friends the best as you move your energy elsewhere.

This week Rockhampton Regional Council has resolved to cease the operations of the SmartHub, effective from Friday, 5 August 2022. We would like to thank all staff, members, mentors, partners and sponsors for their contributions to the SmartHub during its operations.

@importlifeaslf @RRCouncil @importlifeaslf our members are planning to continue to support each other by creating a community led network to foster small business, startups and innovation in our region and one of our members has taken advantage of this decision and opened his own coworking space.

@SmartHubRocky Wondering if @RRCouncil has plans to replace the hub, perhaps a new investment somewhere?

@sbxr Thanks @sbxr we have always appreciated your support as a previous Rocky local. We have not been told what our amazing space will be used for post 5th August.

@SmartHubRocky What a shame. What will the building be used for ?

@ellispeta Thanks Peta we really appreciate the support you provided for the Hub and it’s members and we are equally disappointed by the decision. Our Council have needed to find ways to save 6.7 million dollars from the budget due to State Govt funding cuts.

@SmartHubRocky I don’t know the reason behind this, but seems like 10 steps backwards. Loved every initiative created by the hub and it’s capable operators.
