GIDGEGANNUP MEN'S SHED
Gidgegannup Men's Shed
The Gidgegannup Men’s Shed was created by a small group of local community members to help the residents recover following the Wooroloo bushfires which swept through the area in February 2021.
A community-based Men’s Shed that provides opportunities for men and women to work on projects of their own, join in Shed activities and tasks, or just share time, recreation and fellowship with other members.
Regular woodwork, metalwork and mechanical workshop activities are held on Wednesday and Saturday 8am – 12pm. Our enthusiastic milling team mills local timber to use in woodwork projects such as bespoke jarrah slab tables, a unique venture due to our rural location.
The Men’s Chat Group, where blokes only meet, enjoy an informal relaxed social gathering sharing a yarn, playing darts, cards, and board games or cooking a BBQ. Shed Jam offers an opportunity for budding musicians to bring an instrument and/or their voice and have fun making sweet music together.
Our Guest Speaker Program is open to all the community covering topics of interest such as health and wellbeing, 3D printing, chainsaw maintenance and tips, and building nesting boxes from recycled timber.
We are proud to participate in community projects together with Rotary and the City of Swan. Projects include the Rotary funded BlazeAid fencing trailer to aid the replacement of fencing lost in the Wooroloo Bushfires and the Tool Library, a resource of tools available to affected residents and the wider community.

The purpose-built shed project was a huge undertaking with massive amounts of work from many members. As you can see, this has resulted in a superb facility which is of great benefit to members and the community.
