Working Spaces HQ, created by Simone Eyles, has led the conversation around economic development in this city over five years.

"A co-working space builds a community ... it allows someone with an idea, or people looking to relocate, to plug into an ecosystem locally," she said.

"If people need to go to the NSW Business Chamber or the Incubator out at CSU, we can support them by connecting and communicating with stakeholders within the community.

"Recently, a team of five from Melbourne were looking to expand ... the opportunity to employ people in our region to work remotely compared to paying wages in Melbourne, is very attractive."

In the lead up to the startup's fifth birthday, Ms Eyles is asking entrepreneurs and business people to share what they need in order to progress and meet demand in the city.

"We want to build something they want, a bottom-up approach that connects and collaborates locally in order to service these people," she said.

Since the survey opened, two issues that have surfaced surround connectivity and a greater need for space.

"We need fibre internet and we need to look at connectivity, which is important if you're working remote or your business is tech enabled," Ms Eyles said.

"We are looking for a bigger site to consolidate our working space and Hubb Hubb events space ... as we're not meeting demand of what people want."

WSHQ is holding a round-table discussion this Thursday with key city stakeholders to find out how they can continue to accelerate activity and innovation.
