We are passionate about enabling people the option of working and living locally because we believe that working should be a fun and positive experience.
The Northern Beaches of Sydney is not only a great place to live, but full of talented people doing exceptional and innovative things in business.
Starting a new business or working by yourself can be lonely and isolating.
NewportNet facilitates a Work Life Balance by offering inviting & flexible shared working space for entrepreneurs, creatives & freelancers, small businesses, start-ups and home based businesses to work independently whilst surrounded by a community of passionate and successful collaborators. We are a working environment for anyone who doesn’t need the costs and ongoing commitment of a long term private office, or is finding working from home or your local cafe isolating and distracting. NewportNet is a place where everybody can collaborate ideas, network and flex their creative minds to breed success and feel part of a community of like-minded people.

Simon & Karen Bond – Founders of NewportNet Coworking
How NewportNet was born
Karen & Simon spent their childhood on Newport Beach and as teenagers they both worked in many local businesses during their summer school holidays. Their families are community minded people, Simon’s father was Bruce Bond “Mr Money” and Karen’s mum was a respected Doctor in the local community.
Karen & Simon met while working at the Newport Arms Hotel, married and moved to Melbourne to forge a career in Stockbroking.
It wasn’t long before the calling of the Northern Beaches brought them home to Newport where they live with their 3 sons. Karen, Simon and their boys are actively involved in their local school, rugby and surfing clubs.
Simon is a partner in the Newport branch of Morgans Stockbroking, which has been on the Northern Beaches for over 15 years.
As well as being an active supporter of her local community, Karen is a member of Pittwater Business Limited, Pittwater Council Enliven Leadership Committee and on the board of Shared WorkHubs Association Australia.
The idea of NewportNet – Coworking, Fast Internet & Flexible Desk Space was born from Karen & Simon’s love of working and living locally, so they wanted to offer the same opportunity to their local Community.
“There are so many people who commute to the city everyday, just to turn on their computers and sit at their desks, then drive an hour and half home again. There are also those of us lucky enough to work from home, but risk getting caught in the isolation and distractions of working from a home office”.
