About our shed
About Us
The shed is located within the boundaries of the Capricorn Adventist Retirement Village (CARV) and was initially a function of village management.
However, we have become an incorporated body and now manage our own destiny. We have 23 members, from the retirement village as well as the Yeppoon community. Health and comradeship are our priorities. The high care facility of our village often task us to make items of enjoyment for the infirm (chicken coop is one example.

Positive impacts
The Australian Men’s Shed Association (AMSA) is the national service provider supporting more than 1,200 Men’s, Women’s and Community Sheds and is recognised as one of Australia’s largest male-based community development organisations.
AMSA was established in 2007 by a collection of Australian independent community-based Men’s Sheds to represent, support and promote the Men’s Shed movement. It was founded on the principle of sharing information between sheds and those communities wishing to establish and operate a Men’s Shed. It acts as a central hub for information exchange.
