3 of the coolest co-working spaces on the Gold Coast

CoSpaces

On the other side of the Gold Coast, in Southport, you’ll find a unique co-working space housed in the city’s original, almost 100-year-old ambulance station. CoSpace is all about community and providing their members with an environment to network, promote, learn and grow.

Established in 2012, CoSpaces features three shared workspaces with more than 100 desks, 10 private offices, meeting rooms and event spaces. All of which can be hired for an hour, day, week or month. When you get peckish, head over to the onsite cafe and rooftop bar for a bite to eat. If you want to bring your own lunch, you can—there’s a  full kitchen available for all your meal prep needs.

CoSpace is perched in a prime location for ditching the car and choosing eco-friendly travel. There’s a G:link station just metres from the building, and down the road is the Hopo Ferry and cycling tracks accessible via the beautiful Broadwater Parklands. One of the great co-working spaces on the Gold Coast.

The Productive GC
