Spaces x Get Parked Expands to Unlock the Potential of Wasted Spaces Nationwide

Spaces by Get Parked is growing its national footprint, expanding its presence in Melbourne and entering the Sydney market to help property owners unlock the potential of under-utilised land and buildings.

Founded in Queensland in 2013, Get Parked began with a simple belief: available space could be used more effectively. What started as a solution to flexible parking challenges has evolved into a broader space activation business, transforming dormant properties into productive, revenue-generating assets.

Having applied its model across more than 350 sites around Australia, Spaces is bringing that experience to more developers, property owners and asset managers across Victoria and New South Wales.

“The possibilities of what we can do, and who we can work with, are endless, but ultimately what we’re about is very straightforward: simply connecting people to useful spaces,” says General Manager Trent Pridmore.

Melbourne and Sydney both have substantial development pipelines, but progressing a project from planning to construction can take years. Approvals, financing, construction costs and pre-sales can extend timelines, leaving land and buildings sitting idle while owners continue to carry holding costs.

For Spaces, that waiting period presents an opportunity to create value.

The company works as an extension of the developer’s team, managing, maintaining and activating properties while longer-term plans progress. Solutions range from managed car parking and warehouse storage to flexible office space and hardstand, with each activation tailored to the property and its intended future use.

The aim is straightforward: generate income from space that would otherwise sit unused, while retaining the flexibility needed for redevelopment.

Spaces’ bespoke space management platform, ParQ, supports this approach across the property lifecycle, from activating dormant sites before development to supporting requirements during construction and managing space once projects are complete.

A South Brisbane property awaiting demolition and redevelopment demonstrates how the model can evolve alongside an owner’s needs.

Spaces initially took over 37 excess parking bays before identifying an opportunity to activate vacant office areas as existing leases expired. The building was gradually transformed into a flexible commercial hub offering offices, consulting rooms, meeting facilities and parking.

The activation now generates approximately $500,000 in annual revenue without additional investment from the owner, while short-term leasing arrangements preserve flexibility for future redevelopment.

It is this adaptable approach that underpins the company’s expansion into Melbourne and Sydney. From vacant warehouses and buildings awaiting demolition to surplus land, Spaces identifies practical uses that connect property owners with businesses and individuals seeking flexible space.

With dedicated teams already operating across Queensland and Victoria, the next stage of growth builds on a clear philosophy: there should be no such thing as wasted space.

For owners navigating lengthy development timelines, Spaces x Get Parked offers a way to put that philosophy into practice, making properties productive today while keeping tomorrow’s plans in focus.
