If you are planning a Facebook group to discuss it please send me an invite - I can think of several other people that feel the parking pain on a near daily basis and would be pleased to participate. Best regards, Andrew Thanks Nathanael,

I take your point, and Steve's, that Civic is more central. I know from helping out at the Community Technology Centre in Robertson that there are a variety of issues that await, and the good location will make all the difference.

That's just me though - and it's an entirely selfish point of view I know, but I work in Civic and a Coworking space in Civic is going to be more accessible for me to use during lunch or after/before work than one in Woden. However I realise that the same goes for people who are based in Woden, that a Woden Coworking space will be more accessible to them ... so although I will be pushing for the CBD for myself, I think in the end the location will if possible be based on a collective of personal needs or other factors entirely.

I can see the plusses of Civic - central, everyone knows where it is, and who knows, if enough people get active and jack up about the parking situation then something might get done about it. Cycling is an option for sane folks for about 8 months of the year, and there's always the {{{shudder}}} buses :) Speaking of Woden - there is some office space to rent in the new building next to Scarborough in Woden, and Guru is not far away from there :) You could turn it into the next Silicon Beach! And speaking of Silicon Beaches - what about somewhere like Fern Hill? Apart from the dearth of good coffee, it is still only 10 minutes drive from Civic, and the parking is way better. I'm keeping an eye on the discussion on FaceBook. Good luck with it. Cheers, Andrew Hi Steve,

Given my druthers, I'd lop 50% off the rent and go to Phillip. But rent is Woden's only drawcard.
