Help us get an innovation precinct in Bondi Junction!

Bondi Innovation has long agitated for an innovation precinct in Bondi Junction. You can help make that happen!

Waverley Council has just released its rapidly-created draft Bondi Junction Vision and Master Plan. It is OK on the issues it covers, but the mayor has acknowledged that it doesn’t well address the potential of business, employment, jobs, innovation, and startups.

The community has been invited to give their feedback. We need to ensure the plan addresses the amazing potential of innovation, startups, and creative industries in Bondi region.

PLEASE take a few minutes to complete the form BEFORE 23 NOVEMBER. In your own words say what you think the vision should include. That might be attracting technology and creative employers and jobs, coworking spaces, event venues, research centres, initiatives to attract world-class talent, accelerator programs, an innovation precinct, or other things.

If you want inspiration you can look at our Bondi Junction Innovation Precinct Vision documents, but really just in a few lines say what you think would be exciting and transformative in supporting innovation in Bondi!

Bondi AI Collective events - Tuesday 16 Dec

The Bondi AI Collective and the very dynamic Bondi AI WhatsApp group is going from strength to strength, it’s a fabulous community!

In our final event of the year we will review AI in 2025, each make predictions for AI in 2026 (we’ll publish them!) and get your input on what the Bondi AI Collective should do next year!

And if you missed it here is the excellent write up from Marta Pin of our last Bondi AI Collective: How Brands Can Win Visibility on AI Platforms with Wordflow.

Bondi coworking space: Express Your Interest!

Easts Group and Bondi Innovation are looking into establishing a one-day a week coworking space at Waverley Greens.

It features great spaces for working, hanging out, and connecting. The plan includes a weekly 'Lunch and Learn' session on useful business, innovation, and community topics and other ways to connect locals.

This will only happen if enough people express interest! So if this sounds good be sure to express your interest.

Walk & Talk - Friday 5 Dec

What a wonderful time of year for a walk!! Enjoy the big outdoors with inspiring entrepreneurs as we walk to Tamarama and back on one of the most famous paths in the world, talking entrepreneurship, life and community.

The Bondi Innovation WhatsApp community is flourishing.

Join the community here, introduce yourself, share what you’re up to, and connect with like-minded local innovators.
