Updated and expanded designs for the new Hurstbridge Community Shed have been submitted for final planning and building approval. Community Bank Hurstbridge has also committed $100,000 towards the build.
The project will see the construction of the new shed at 4 Arthurs Creek Road, behind Allwood Neighbourhood House, providing a permanent home for the Hurstbridge Shedders.
The community group, formerly known as the Hurstbridge Men's Shed, is open to all community members regardless of gender. The Shedders provide a space for individuals to learn, share new skills and catch-up with like-minded people.
The new shed will include two workspaces, upstairs social area with kitchen, storage, accessible amenities, accessible car parking and landscaping.
The Hurstbridge Shedders welcomed news of the updated plans, which will increase the workshop space available.
Barry Henwood, Chief Executive Officer of Community Bank Hurstbridge, said the bank was pleased to work in partnership with Council and the Victorian Government on the project.
"We believe that this project will be a fantastic asset for Hurstbridge, fostering community spirit and providing valuable resources for everyone."
The Hurstbridge Community Shed is being funded by Council ($600,000), Victorian Government Growing Suburbs Fund ($364,352) and Community Bank Hurstbridge ($100,000).
