New Creative Studio unlocks Townsville makers’ potential
Aitkenvale CityLibrary is attracting filmmakers, podcasters, recording musicians and artists with its new free Creative Studio, which provides access to state-of-the-art equipment to bring creativity to life.
Creatives who want to develop their digital skills, make products and collaborate with other creators can now make it all happen.
The studios are a recent addition to the Aitkenvale Library and have been designed to help local makers pursue their creative dreams.
Community and Cultural Development Committee chairperson Ann-Maree Greaney said there was considerable interest from early adopters so far.
“We invited 15 people from diverse backgrounds to be early adopters late last year, and there has been strong interest and organic growth in the number of people using the space,” Cr Greaney said.

Historic Beer Birthday: Thomas Aitken
Today is the birthday of Thomas Aitken (January 5, 1821-January 5, 1884). He was born in Scotland, but emigrated to Australia in 1842, when he was 19. “In 1851 he founded the Corio Brewery in Geelong, and later started the Union Brewery in Melbourne. By 1854 he was in business at Victoria Parade, East Melbourne, where he had built a new brewery, distillery and malthouse. The large complex was called the Victoria Parade Brewery,” which was later known simply as the Victoria Brewery. He also developed the formula for their most popular beer, Victoria Bitter, also in 1854. When Thomas died in 1884, his son Archibald took over the brewery, but today it is owned by Carlton & United Breweries, which in turn was acquired by SABMiller, although last year, Asahi Breweries bought Carlton & United.
