Renew on Q is designed to rejuvenate areas experiencing commercial vacancy by increasing foot traffic and activity, while supporting local creative and entrepreneurial communities. 

Through the activation of space and bringing new local ideas and businesses to previously vacant shopfronts, the project aims to support existing businesses by helping to draw people back into the Queen Street Precinct via events, workshops, exhibitions and classes. 

Calling all creatives, entrepreneurs, social enterprises and micro-businesses - Expressions of Interest for Renew on Q are now open! 

So, if you've got a creative idea that you'd like to put on show, or are looking to take the next step into a retail space, or want to host workshops or events in the heart of Campbelltown, then this is the project for you.

Creative business participant testimonials:

Noelle Moa - Printmaker - Downtown Plaza Decal Project - February 2024

“I’ve just been to the Downtown Arcade with my family to see the windows and we are just so blown away! I got very emotional and couldn’t stop crying. I don’t want to get too personal, but I just want to say that I struggle a lot with self-doubt, with myself as an artist. So, to see my works so prominently displayed in such a public space, it made me think, oh… my works are okay!

Thank you deeply to you both, to the Renew Australia team for this amazing opportunity. I am so very grateful.

Fa’afetai tele lava. Thank you very much. “

Jemima Webb - Evora Cove - February 2024

“This initiative has granted us the chance to establish a bricks-and-mortar retail presence in the heart of Campbelltown CBD, enabling us to forge closer connections with the local community and initiate mutually beneficial partnerships with other local businesses. The experience has proven invaluable in fostering the growth of our business and enhancing our visibility.”

Real Estate Agent testimonials:

Darren Zammit - Sales and Leasing Director, LJ Hooker Commercial, Macarthur - February 2024

“The Renew On Q project is an excellent initiative for the Campbelltown CBD, and in particular Queen Street. It provides landlords with long-term vacancies, the opportunity to have a fresh clean space with activity. This provides positive sentiment to surrounding businesses and tenants and further creates opportunity to potentially secure that tenant long-term or someone new who may want to start a business or relocate an established one in a newly vibrant location.”
