Our New Shed
Our members are developing a multi-purpose Men's Shed and community centre, in a staged approach, on a site shared with the famous Johnsonville Hall in the beautiful Twin Rivers region of East Gippsland.
The Twin Rivers Men's Shed Committee is pleased to announce approval of a $150,000 'Black Summer Bushfire Recovery' (BSBR) grant . With this injection of funds, the project has commenced in earnest with the application for planning permit approved, engineering drawings for the foundations, prepared, and the building blocks of the shed delivered.
The Grant scheme aims to support recovery and resilience of communities impacted by the 2019–20 bushfires, build stronger communities by supporting social, economic and environmental recovery, and will empower the community to address bushfire recovery priorities, including job creation, sustainable infrastructure and needs-based community investment, and to build and grow the local economy.
This image shows the site as it is today and the following two images, the concept design for the new centre.
