About our shed

About Us

The Shed opened its doors in 2012 and an expansion in 2015 saw the workshop area double to what it is today which is 400sq meters and a 50 square metre patio area. The Shed is currently undergoing plans to double its current size. We currently have 97 members.

Our Shed has many enthusiastic members who’s life’s skills have contributed to a healthy vibrant organisation whose members support each other socially and mentally. We have a strong community client base and we are well known in the area for being able to repair and make any woodwork item. Our vision is always looking forward to cater for the next generation of Shedders.

Shed Activities

Members can enjoy working on personal projects or Shed projects. We have a range of Social Activities from Blokes Day each month, where we have Guest Speakers, special activities and excursions happening to Social Sundowners once per month for members and their partners to Caravan/Camping trips, there is always something happening at our Shed.

Positive impacts

Camaraderie

"I've found a great group of mates"

Mateship is an important pillar of every Men’s Shed – first and foremost the shed is a place for men to knock about with a group of like-minded mates.

Community

“I give back to the community”

Men’s Sheds are vital community investments delivering programmes and activities that foster community spirit and contribute to building a more inclusive Australia.

Health & Wellbeing

“My health and wellbeing is better because I'm a Shedder”

Many shedders experience improved mental health outcomes. Men (and women) involved at their local Shed report increased self-esteem through participation and learning new skills; de-stigmatisation of experiencing mental health and de-stigmatisation of prevalent social issues related to mental health.

Watch — More than just a shed

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.
