MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
A warm Shoalhaven Business Chamber welcome to our newest member — The Control Room!
Currently in development, The Control Room is an exciting new tech playground and community space being created right here in the Shoalhaven — designed to bring people together through gaming, technology, immersive experiences and connection.
Far more than a traditional gaming venue, The Control Room will combine PC and console gaming, VR adventures, STEM and robotics classes, tournaments, workshops, parties, social programs and themed interactive experiences all under one roof.
Created with teens, families, young adults, seniors and community groups in mind, the vision behind The Control Room is simple: to create a welcoming and inclusive space where people can play, learn, create and belong.
Founder Nichole says the idea grew from recognising a gap in the Shoalhaven for more exciting, modern and accessible activities and social spaces — particularly for teens and young adults.
“The Shoalhaven has such a strong sense of community and people genuinely support local businesses. We wanted to create something that gives people another reason to connect, socialise and stay local.”
What makes The Control Room unique is its blend of entertainment, creativity, education and community connection. By bringing together gaming, VR, STEM learning and social experiences in one immersive environment, the team is aiming to deliver something unlike anything currently available in the region.
As development progresses, The Control Room will be sharing sneak peeks, launch updates, community events and more — and we can already tell this is going to be something very special for the Shoalhaven.
Play. Create. Connect.
Welcome to the Chamber, The Control Room!
