Co-working spaces are becoming the norm in the midst of the pandemic, intersecting between an office and home for many office workers. While typically associated with metropolitan areas, regional co-working provider WorkLife is bringing co-working to the suburbs, with its latest offering an exercise in adaptive reuse and sensitive restoration.
Wollondilly Council
Funding from the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund will help deliver upgrades to the old Picton Post Office, transforming it into an accessible community ‘Smart Hub’.
The iconic post office building will receive $986,570 of upgrades to create an inclusive co-working space; including installation of a lift, construction of accessible car parking and associated footpaths, walkways and ramps.
Mayor Robert Khan said, “Our vision is for the Old Post Office Building to be the centrepiece of a great smart working hub that benefits residents across Wollondilly.”
“It will be exciting to see the building brought to life once again, so we can open it up to the community and provide support for local business.”
