Waikerie Mens Shed Inc

The Waikerie Men’s Shed was formed in late 2012 when a large number of local men attended a community meeting.

An incorporated body was formed and initially meetings were held in the Waikerie Club.

Shortly afterward a large vacant shed on Ian Oliver Drive was secured on a temporary basis.

Some time passed and the Loxton/Waikerie Council built a new shed, to be shared in part with the greater community, but with a section solely for the use of the Men’s Shed group. The group soon outgrew even this building, and a further building was added, funded by the Waikerie Men’s Shed aided by a government grant.

The Shed provides a social and vocational outlet that enables men to be productively involved in community life.

The Shed provides resources for men to undertake their own projects and projects that are of community benefit.

Activities include Welding Shop, Small Motor Workshop, Electrical Workshop, Machine Shop, Woodwork Shed, Laser Engraving, Laser Cutting.
