Not just a venue booking system! Creative ways to use SpacetoCo

When someone says ‘SpacetoCo’, it’s easy to think we’re Australia and NZ’s favourite way to book venues. But did you know we’re MORE than that? We’ve partnered with awesome councils and community venues who show us that we’re not just a venue booking system. From booking ping-pong tables to portable toilets, here are the top creative ways to use SpacetoCo:

Get moving! 🚐

Have a vehicle you’d like to offer the community to use but don’t know how to manage this? SpacetoCo can help. The Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale use our venue booking system for their locals to book their community bus by the hour. Others use SpacetoCo to hire out beach wheelchairs and even a vintage caravan for weddings, parties or photoshoots.

It’s game time 🏅

Have you heard of a venue booking system being used to hire out a ping-pong table? You don’t need to look far for proof: the Auckland Table Tennis Association use SpacetoCo to offer tables for lunch-hour games. Our system also works to hire out outdoor spaces like ovals and beach volleyball courts.

Off to work 🖥️

Not only have we partnered up with co-working spaces, we are also helping other organisations that want to offer facilities suitable for work. In fact, the Broome Community Resource Centre use SpacetoCo to offer their computer lab for use, and you can hire stand up desks from MKG Open Spaces through our venue booking system.

Whats cookin, good lookin! 👨‍🍳

Have you ever thought of hiring out your kitchen? Take a leaf out of Perth City Farm’s book. They use SpacetoCo to book out their commercial kitchen for intimate cooking workshops, as well as catering prep.

Keep calm and carry on 📦

Some of our councils have even used our venue booking system to hire out storage facilities! For example, the City of Cockburn offer several storage areas and the Shire of Serpentine Jarradale put up trailers for hire using SpacetoCo.

Accommodation for you and your pets 🏕️🐶

Our Why

Sustainability

We believe that there are plenty of spaces and it’s not always necessary to build more. By utilising existing assets more efficiently and by making it easier to book spaces online, we all play a part in a more sustainable future.

Local Economies

We believe in the importance of driving growth to local area economies. By providing a means for people to access local spaces, we hope to stimulate a buzz of activity within towns, precincts & localities . We believe that when local economies thrive, communities come to life.

Community Connection

We believe space activation plays an important role in community development and building connectedness between people.It is through this that we work towards building a supportive, inclusive and diverse society.
