MC Square in Doncaster will soon undergo an exciting transformation to bring UpSpace to life – a modern co-working business hub designed to empower and grow Manningham’s small business community. 

Located in the vibrant heart of Doncaster Hill, UpSpace takes its name from its elevated setting and purpose, which is to uplift local businesses. 

Our Mayor, Councillor Deirdre Diamante said the hub represents a significant step in Council’s ongoing commitment to nurturing local businesses through practical support and collaborative initiatives.

“This purpose-built facility offers small business owners and professionals a place to work, collaborate and access essential resources.” Cr Diamante said. 

“MC Square is already a thriving hub for community services, and the new business space will further enhance its value by providing small, local businesses with a professional base and enhanced opportunities to network.” 

Following an extensive design process, the co-working hub is now in procurement, with construction expected to commence early 2026.

Plans for the facility include: 

• a welcoming reception
• 27 desk spaces 
• a meeting room
• two private focus pods
• guest lockers
• a fully equipped kitchen
• high-speed internet, video conferencing and print facilities
• terrace access with seating, plants and panoramic views. 

In addition to the new co-working hub, upgrades will also be made to the existing MY Hub youth services facility. All services will remain open during the works, with MY Hub temporarily moving to Level 3 at MC Square.
