WHAT IS THE INNOVATION HUB?

Roxby, Woomera and Andamooka are towns with a creative and entrepreneurial spirit. The Innovation Hub (located on Richardson Place in Roxby Downs) is a dedicated working space for tertiary students, aspiring businesses, sole traders and individuals in our community to work independently or collaboratively in a shared office environment. 

The Hub includes: hotdesk workstations for temporary bookings at no charge; shared facilities for tea and coffee provisions; a small meeting table for co-working; and a larger boardroom for booking on a user-pays basis. 

Supported by BHP, the Innovation Hub compliments BHPs other investments including the BHP Future of Work Program and the Local Buying Program. Two workstations are dedicated to local community partners:

  • The C-RES Local Buying Program - established to support small businesses in the eligible regions in South Australia in their engagements with BHP (see our introduction to Jessica from C-Res); and

  • UniHub Spencer Gulf – an organisation committed to supporting local community members to study university locally and to work with local employers to address skill shortages. (See our introduction to Uni Hub)

We welcome tertiary students, start-up or small to medium business operators and business representatives visiting our region to utilise the space.
