Why a co-working space in Lilydale?
Thousands of professionals leave the municipality daily to get to jobs. The personal, community and environmental benefits of working closer to home, even if for a few days a week, are substantial. But a home-office is not always the answer. With NBN being rolled out in central Lilydale in late 2013, the Lilydale Connector – which will offer its users a state-of-the-art technology hub – will be that perfect “third space” (which in not the office or home) for local professionals and small businesses to get work stuff done!

The Lilydale Connector will offer privacy without isolation; boundaries between home and work for self-employed professionals (but without the dreaded commute); and access to local knowledge networks. Having that community of support and ‘place to go’ when you need a little human/social boost, can be very powerful work productivity tool.
