Welcome Zoe to The Place Team!

Our New Programs Assistant

We’re happy to announce that we have a new team member at The Place, please welcome Zoe our new Programs Assistant.

Zoe moved to Australia 10 years ago from Bosnia, after marrying her Novocastrian husband and has lived in the Hunter ever since. She has a diverse professional background, with significant marketing and PR experience and has worked in a variety of industries: non-government organisations, peacekeeping forces, a diplomatic mission, museums, galleries, healthcare and more.

Zoe is excited to work for a community organisation like The Place, saying
“they can be little hives of activity, true hubs for their local communities, fostering community engagement and inclusion, providing a sense of belonging and invoking a feeling of ownership and pride of place in people.”


We’re so glad to have Zoe as part of our team, if you see her when you’re next at The Place please say hello!

What makes a great venue? According to our 5-star reviews, it's more than just quality facilities and a convenient location. It's the experience, the support, and the confidence that your event is in good hands. At The Place, we provide professional, flexible spaces for meetings, workshops, training sessions, community events and corporate functions. Our team works closely with organisers to ensure every event runs smoothly from start to finish. What makes us different is that every booking creates impact beyond the room itself. As a Social Enterprise, venue hire at The Place helps fund local community programs that reduce social isolation, build skills, strengthen connections and create opportunities for people across our region. So when you're planning your next meeting, workshop, training day or event, consider a venue that delivers value for you or your organisation while supporting meaningful outcomes in the community.
