CO-WORKING HYBRID SPACE IN WANNEROO
A former Wangara business is
the first to move in to the Hybrid
Co-working Space, a joint project
between the City of Wanneroo
and the Wanneroo Business
Association.
Aboriginal Procurement Solutions
operates from the recently
opened Hybrid 935, a sharedwork
environment at Enterprise
House that offers inspiration and
education to small to medium-sized
businesses, freelancers, start-ups
and entrepreneurs.
Aboriginal Procurement Solutions
Director Dwayne Rowland said his
business is always looking at ways to
save costs and innovate so moving
to Hybrid 935 was an easy decision.
“The business had outgrown our
shared premises but could not
commit to a larger facility,” he said.
“Hybrid gives us a cost effective
space with modern, central facilities
that has all hours access.
“The facility allows you to network in
a shared work space that creates an
environment of collaboration as well
as having access to training and
meeting rooms.”
Mayor Tracey Roberts said Hybrid
935 is all about meeting likeminded
people with a common
vision: helping businesses grow and
develop.
“By working with other businesses
in your local community, you have
the chance to build your reputation,
create networking opportunities and
learn new business skills,” she said.

CITY LAUNCHES APP TO ASSIST LOCAL BUSINESSES
LAUNCH
The City of Wanneroo leads the
way in connection with local
business and has launched its
very own Biz@Wanneroo App.
The City is one of the first local
councils in WA to develop an App
specifically tailored to the needs of
its business community.
The free Biz@Wanneroo App
aims to provide the local
business community, partners
and stakeholders with timely and
relevant business information, news
and events.
Wanneroo Business Association
president Vesna Sampson said the
App was a great initiative by the
City of Wanneroo.
“The app enables the business
community access and
opportunities to influence the
shaping and fulfilment of the City’s
economic aspirations, in an easy
and direct way,” she said.
“It’s very important for any
entrepreneur and business owner to
stay in touch with what’s happening
in and around their local area.

“Through community collaboration
we can be more creative, innovative
and resilient as an entrepreneurial
community, when we get to share
our collective intelligence and
capabilities.”
As part of the City’s commitment
to local businesses the mobile
technology was created by
northern suburbs app developers
CommunitytoGo.
The App is available free from the
App store (on Apple and Android)
and for all the latest business news,
