And Jack Hurley doesn’t think it is an ambitious goal.

“Not really,” Mr Hurley said. “I mean, we've got six, hopefully by the end of this month we'll get up to about 10.

“We're aiming for 25 a year so we're well on our way.”

“We” is a word used often at Possum Works, a Macauley Street property formerly known as student housing.

Recently renovated, the building now offers a range of work spaces and meeting rooms to house up to 30 start-ups.

“Where teams and individuals can grow their businesses in a supportive, collaborative environment,” Mr Hurley said.

“I'd been working in this (type of) space before out of Sydney and thought it was time Albury had something like this.

“We didn't want to go into a normal, big, flat-spaced environment, with people staring at each other.

“We wanted something where people could find little nooks and crannies within the building to do things.”

Architect Amandah Couch joined Possum Works as a way to move beyond her home office.

“It's an amazing, creative, lively place to be at the moment, all these new things and new ideas,” she said.

Ms Couch also plans to run sewing classes for children from the central site.

“I've got room to move, I've got space where I can teach classes,” she said.

“It's abuzz with excitement so I think that's really good to bring children into that sort of environment.”

Other members Andy Shuttleworth and Tim Sigmund also appreciated the co-operative atmosphere.

“I like how everyone sort of bounces ideas off and helps each other out,” Mr Shuttleworth said.

“It's basically what we've been doing for a few years except it was at a small scale,” Mr Sigmund added.

“Now it's just got the potential to grow. 

“Word of mouth and having people around, I think, is how you get things done properly.”
