Local governments are under increasing pressure to achieve more with constrained resources, while meeting the growing expectations of their communities. Facility bookings continue to remain a challenge, with many councils still grappling with fragmented systems, complex finance processes and limited visibility. The result is often reduced utilisation, administrative burden and missed opportunities to create stronger community outcomes.
In this webinar, hear how councils across Australia and New Zealand are transforming the way they manage facility bookings to deliver smarter, more sustainable results. The session will focus on:
- Streamlining operations: Reducing administrative overheads through automation and simplified finance processes
- Improving discoverability: Making council facilities easier to find and book, boosting utilisation and community engagement
- Delivering better experiences: Providing seamless digital services that reduce staff burden while building public trust
You’ll also gain insights into how a future-focused approach can ensure spaces are not only maintained, but activated in ways that drive social, cultural and economic value.
Join us to learn from real-world examples and walk away with actionable strategies to help your council streamline operations, empower staff and deliver better outcomes for the communities you serve.

We do this by providing local government and community centres with enterprise level software to help reduce repetitive admin and challenges when it comes to managing bookings. We also provide hirers a marketplace filled with these community centres to find the right venue for them.Our purposeSustainabilityWe believe that there are plenty of spaces and it’s not always necessary to build more. Utilising existing assets more efficiently and making it easier to access spaces leads to a more sustainable future.Supporting local economiesWe believe in driving growth to local area economies. Providing access local spaces stimulates activity within towns and localities. We believe that when local economies thrive, communities come to life.Community connectionWe believe space activation plays an important role in community development and building connectedness between people. It is through this that we work towards building a supportive, inclusive and diverse society.
