The Creative Think Tank

The Think Tank was established in 2023 following extensive community consultation and research into the needs of the region’s makers. Comprised of handpicked, dedicated creative professionals, this advisory committee plays a crucial role in shaping the Pumphouse. They assisted AlburyCity in selecting the most suitable modalities and equipment for the space, and provide valuable input into The Pumphouse business plan, strategy, and branding.

The Think Tank provided expertise and industry knowledge to identify the Pumphouse Purpose:

To attract, inspire, nurture, and sustain a vibrant community of makers.
