Parnell Inc. is Parnell's local business association. Our objective is to ensure a great Parnell experience for shoppers and businesses alike.
Previously known as Parnell Mainstreet, Parnell Inc. currently represents over 400 businesses along Parnell Road and Parnell Rise. We are working to extend our services and support to all businesses based in the Parnell area.
Parnell Inc. provides a wide range of services for members including the promotion of Parnell as a business and shopping area, hosting events to attract people to the area, key placement and listings on this website, member seminars and networking events, rapid graffiti-removal, night security patrol and a weekly email newsletter. Another key role of Parnell Inc is the liaison and engagement with Council and other authorities to bring about improvements to the area.
Parnell Inc. launched a new look for Parnell in July 2009, with the introduction of the Creative Quarter brand, logo and marketing system. If you'd like to better understand what Parnell is all about you can read about our brand story, our personality and our values.
