4worldlovers: Victoria Yards is more than just a commercial enterprise, it's a vibrant community of thriving tenants. By creating an eco-system that fosters connection and collaboration, we offer a one-of-a-kind urban complex that prioritizes both social development and business growth.

We are actively looking for artisans and crafts people who require space to create, share and work. Whatever the scale of your operation we’d love to hear from you. Fostering essential skills starts with a place you can call home.

The Victoria Yards urban agriculture project means job creation as well as income generating opportunities. We cultivate fresh, organic seasonal fruit and vegetables. Visit us or call Tony on 0610939073 to find out what is in season or to book your box of fresh Vic Yards veg. You can also visit and buy directly from the garden any weekday from 0830 to 1600.


The transfer of skills and knowledge means we can empower individuals within the community. As each person grows from apprentice to teacher the setup within Victoria Yards allows them to grow and showcase their abilities and ambitions.

All great societies have roots in the visual arts, with many prominent galleries taking space within the yards, the future for the arts looks bright. Nurturing undiscovered talent with support and places to work, network and exhibit is key to our vision.

Get some in-depth history of Victoria Yards and explore all the studios.

Victoria Yards was not always a home for creative minds, learners and entrepreneurs. Purpose built as a steam laundry in the 1913, the property, now nearly 100 years old, has changed little in the way of the original buildings, standing derelict for a while before being occupied by informal traders. In 2016, the property became home to what is now known as Victoria Yards. With the addition of gardens, Koi ponds and the reimagining of the spaces, Victoria Yards has become a home to a variety of artists, teachers, learners and other creative enterprises.
