Coastal coworking hub builds connections and community

2 June, 2026

Overlooking sparkling Jervis Bay, on the NSW South Coast, is Greenhouse Huskisson a co-working space for freelancers, remote workers and small businesses offering people a space to work alongside others, from a range of professions and industries. 

Owner and founder, Jamie McAinsh, observes that customers have varying needs, from hiring a desk or meeting room to a community that provides support and inspiration.  ‘Professionals and creatives find that an adaptable space allows them to work productively in ways that suit them,’ Jamie said. 

Co-working spaces have become increasingly popular for small businesses providing many advantages of traditional offices in a shared environment leading to cost savings and other benefits.  Jamie offers the following suggestions on how small businesses can make the most of flexible working and co-working environments. 

Flexibly use professional offices – affordably hire a desk or space to meet with clients when it is needed, without fixed costs and long-term agreements.  

Embrace networking opportunities – meet and learn from people from various professions and industries. The support and networking opportunities of co-working can help start-ups thrive and small businesses to expand. 

Boost health and productivity – a structured work environment shared with like-minded people or having a change of scenery can boost productivity and well-being. 

Be imaginative with the space – host workshops, networking events, social gatherings, club meetings or set up an exhibition, or photography studio. 

For other small business owners who are working from home or a co-working space, a range of government support is available. See the links below.
