About our shed
About Us
The shed was instigated late in 2011 and operated on a limited basis at a number of locations in Gracemere until land was made available at 101 Ian Besch Drive and the current shed was completed in October 2013. Since then the members have worked to build up the numbers of men taking part in activities and striving to build up the equipment to operate as a self help, help others, socialize and community based projects.
Shed Activities
Various wood working and light metal work. Making items for the general public. We also take on community projects for our local Rockhampton Regional Council from time to time.

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.
