Maroochy Mens Shed

Our Aims
Our aim is to improve the health of men in our community.
The Maroochy Men's Shed gives men a safe and friendly place to get together a few times each week. Mateship, men’s health, woodwork, metalwork, the discussion group, the camera group, the music group are all vital to the success of our Shed.
Who are we?
In September 2012 three Maroochydore Rotarians asked the question, “Is a Men’s Shed needed in Maroochydore?” From that initial meeting of 12 potential members we have grown to over 100 members and growing fast. We owe a debt of gratitude to Terry Welch, our secretary, who has allowed us to meet at his industrial shed in Kuluin from the beginning.
We are an incorporated Shed, affiliated with the Queensland and Australian Men’s Shed Association. We are a not for profit organisation providing a safe environment for our members to work with fellow Shedders.
Our Facilities
We have a large collection of wood and metal working tools and equipment as one would expect. Crammed into our temporary building we also have an area for visiting speakers, round table discussions, morning tea, library and computer room. We have a very active camera club, plus music, gardening and health groups.
Our Shed is open formally on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. We open on other days as required. This has become important because our temporary shed is now far too small to allow our members to use the tools and equipment safely on just those two days.
