When someone says 'SpacetoCo', it's easy to think we're Australia and New Zealand's favourite way to book venues. But did you know SpacetoCo is more than that? We've partnered with councils and community venues who show us that we're not just a venue booking system. From booking ping-pong tables to portable toilets, here are the top creative ways to use SpacetoCo.
The short answer: SpacetoCo is a flexible community resource booking system used across Australia and New Zealand to manage the hire of vehicles, sports equipment, kitchens, storage, camping sites, dog kennels, whole beaches, and much more — not just rooms. If your community needs it and it can be booked, SpacetoCo can manage it.
Have a vehicle you'd like to offer the community to use but don't know how to manage it? SpacetoCo can help. The Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale use SpacetoCo for their locals to book their community bus by the hour. Others use SpacetoCo to hire out beach wheelchairs and even a vintage caravan for weddings, parties or photoshoots.
Have you heard of a venue booking system being used to hire out a ping-pong table? You don't need to look far for proof: the Auckland Table Tennis Association use SpacetoCo to offer tables for lunch-hour games. SpacetoCo also works to hire out outdoor spaces like ovals and beach volleyball courts.
Not only has SpacetoCo partnered with co-working spaces — it's also helping organisations that want to offer work-ready facilities to their community. The Broome Community Resource Centre use SpacetoCo to offer their computer lab, and you can hire stand-up desks from MKG Open Spaces through SpacetoCo too.
Have you ever thought of hiring out your kitchen?
Take a leaf out of Perth City Farm's book — they use SpacetoCo to book out their commercial kitchen for intimate cooking workshops, as well as catering prep. If you've got a commercial kitchen sitting idle between your own events, it could be generating income and community value at the same time.
Some councils have even used SpacetoCo to hire out storage facilities! For example, the City of Cockburn offer several storage areas and the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale put up trailers for hire, reducing the cost burden on local clubs and community groups who need equipment but can't justify buying it outright.
SpacetoCo is all about helping EVERYONE — even the young folk! If you want to hire out spaces and resources catered to kids or youth, look no further. The Encounter Christian Centre host their baby and toddler-friendly play space on SpacetoCo, and the Ellenbrook Community Library offer their youth hyperlab on the system too!
Did you know you can use SpacetoCo for places to stay? The Dandaragan Transit Park offer camping sites through SpacetoCo, and the Shire of Ashburton hire out dog kennels through the system too — so pet owners always have a trusted, easy-to-book option when they need it.
Not only can you hire out spaces for events on SpacetoCo — you can offer all the other things that make events happen. Photoshoot area? City of Belmont offer gardens and a gazebo. Tables and chairs? Shire of Ashburton hire these out. Portable toilets (yup, you heard right!)? Jurien Sports and Recreation Centre have those on lock!
Your locals have something to say? With SpacetoCo, you can hire out spaces and resources that help your community provide information, put on workshops, and market their cause. Check out SpacetoCo being used to offer council workshop slots, stall spaces, and even an overhead banner frame!
Here's a smart way to use SpacetoCo — if you want people to check out your space before booking it, you can use SpacetoCo to offer viewing slots! The City of Cockburn offer the Atwell Hall for viewing AND hiring, all on the same listing page. Less back and forth, faster decisions.
One of the coolest things you can hire out on SpacetoCo? A cinema trailer , thanks to the Shire of Ravensthorpe! Likewise, the City of Prospect hire out their stage for performing arts needs. Community entertainment, sorted.
Guys! You can hire out a whole BEACH on SpacetoCo. The City of Cockburn use SpacetoCo to book out Ngarkal Beach for events, as well as a dive and snorkel trail. A whole beach. On a booking system. We love it here.
