About our shed

About Us

Puckapunyal Community Shed is a unique facility, provided for the use of Defence members, their families and Defence civilians who are active members of the Puckapunyal & District Neighbourhood Centre (PDNC).

Whilst we are situated on a Defence base, we are independently run and funded through the PDNC (we are NOT funded by Defence).

We are currently the only men's shed/community shed located on a Defence base in Australia, but we hope there may be more in the future.

Shed Activities

Activities include: woodworking, metalworking (including welding and plasma cutting), sandblasting, spray painting, various support requests to other PDNC organisations (e.g. signage, Christmas decorations, etc).

Future projects include the development of a blacksmithing forge and a designated spray painting booth.

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.
