Community in action: Tenant events across our assets

September was a vibrant month across our properties, with tenants actively supporting meaningful causes. We began with International Literacy Day at HQ North, where a Great Book Swap—run in partnership with AECOM—raised funds for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. On R U OK? Day, tenants across our assets took part in workshops and activations that encouraged meaningful conversations and mental wellbeing.

At 700 Collins, the lobby transformed into a pop-up exhibition for Art for Change, hosted by Metro Trains Melbourne in partnership with The Torch. The exhibition showcased powerful works by First Nations artists with lived experience of incarceration, highlighting the role of art in cultural reconnection and reducing recidivism.
