About this opportunity

Applications are now open for our Darlinghurst property.

The creative live/work spaces program aims to subsidise and support creative practice in the inner city. Under this grant program, we lease a small number of residential properties to help artists and creative practitioners live and work at below market rental.

This program is offered in response to the challenges artists and creative practitioners face in obtaining affordable inner-city housing and creative facilities. It provides a residential lease for up to 18 months at reduced rates more than 60% below market rents.
