Despite a lack of coworking operator expansion in Q2, 2023, Brisbane has witnessed substantial growth in the coworking industry over the past two years. This growth is exemplified by the introduction of new premium offerings such as MoboCo and Cirque by Centuria.
Additionally, existing coworking operators have seized the opportunity to expand their presence in Brisbane, as evidenced by Workspace365's launch of a new location in Brisbane's West Village.
The recent increase in pricing from $676 to $707 in the last quarter indicates a heightened level of competition within the market, which can be attributed to the growing demand and limited availability of coworking spaces.
Take a look at Mobo Co today:
External Private Office for up to 16 people

Canberra, being the second smallest Flexible Office Market in Australia, has experienced a slow expansion of coworking operators in the city. In contrast to the over 500 available coworking and private offices listed in Sydney, Rubberdesk currently offers just over 80 options in Canberra.
This limited supply and slow operator expansion have contributed to relatively unchanged pricing, although economic pressures and inflation have led to a modest increase from $500 to $575 per person per month.
Despite these constraints, Canberra still presents a reasonable selection of 17 operators to choose from, including well-known names such as Work Club Global, Wotso, Hub Australia, and Servcorp.

Adelaide, being the smallest flexible office market in Australia, offers a modest selection of only 75 available coworking and office spaces listed on Rubberdesk. However, what sets the Adelaide market apart is the diversity of coworking operators. In addition to larger players, there is a notable presence of smaller independent spaces such as Business Hub, Spot Coworking, Mache, Wilkin Group, and The Innovation Factory.
With the limited availability of premium offerings and operator expansion, pricing in Adelaide has remained relatively stable. In the previous quarter, there was a slight increase from $600 to $644, influenced in part by economic factors. While the market may be smaller in scale, Adelaide provides a unique range of coworking options, catering to a variety of needs and preferences within the local business community.
