About our shed
About Us
In 2019 our shed won the Outstanding Recycling/Upcycling Activity at the National Men’s Shed Awards in recognition of the large volume of recycling the shed has done with timber and supplies from Fonterra and with timber from VicRoads.
Men’s Health Days held regularly to inform and update the members and the general public.
Young people from VIVID come to the shed weekly and participate in various projects, eg painting bee hives.

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.
