Business Plan Outlined

Our business plan at this time and the near future is to continue to develop our site and to create more things within our workshop.  Our Council DA is now complete and we have a Full Occupation Certificate for our men’s shed site. We will continue to fund raise by way of community activities (handy man jobs) and to apply for online grants to help fund an additional expansion of our shed, and to continuing to offer services to the community both in the shed and externally in the community. We are an incorporated business registered with our ABN 86943384526 and the Department of Fair Trade.

Our incorporation number is INC 9897842 and we are very proactive with business’s in our community.

Networking with the members of the shed and business’s in our community will continue. We may on occasions seek out sponsors to help fund any future community projects. We continue to raise enough funding to pay for our utilities, and public liability insurance each year. Community support is a prime focus as a part of our business plan. Getting donations for activities that we do to help fund our activities with offering community support.

Further shed construction expansion is planned in the near future, and we continue of upgrade our equipment for the shed, as our aim is to expand membership to empower us to do more support work in the community and within the shed. We regularly network with other sheds and interact with the national body (Australian Men’s Shed Association) for guidance and support.

Seeking out community sponsors also helps us achieve our goals and offering support for men who need something to do at the end of their working life. Sometimes men can need an activity to do when they retire. Saying I am going to retire and do nothing can be a very fatal plan, men need to keep their social interactions and keep busy. It is well proven that men who are active do not get depression, and have less health problems. So get busy and keep active is the answer.

Our plan is to stay busy in the community and within the shed, remember blokes talk shoulder to shoulder not face to face, this is all apart of a good business plan. Men need to be active and this is why there are over 1000 men’s sheds in Australia.

So “get active and get busy” is our motto, give us a call or come along to see what we do and join in on our men’s shed activities, it is all apart of our business plan for the shed.

Community Activities

We offer support to pensioners that have no family support and disabled people who need odd jobs done, and we even will make up wheelchair ramps if they don’t have that vital family support that is needed. We offer to do handyman jobs for those who are needy, and we don’t publish these kinds of charity projects online for privacy reasons. We can also do charity work for non-profit charities that are in need of a voluntary skilled workforce. Our services are offered to schools, hospitals, child care centres, women’s refugees, retirement villages and many other non-profit business’s that have a very strict budget and need to get things done, these are the things we do now, and will keep doing as a part of our business plan.

We don’t publish our treasures report online. If your business would like this information, please contact us and ask us.
