• Constructing new sheds or reusing current structures.
• Refurbishing, extending or building new facilities.
• Acquiring big machinery for use in shed projects.
State Member for Euroa Annabelle Cleeland said the grants would help sheds with space constraints, ageing infrastructure, or changing member requirements.
“There’s tremendous work being done in men’s sheds across the region,” Ms Cleeland said.
“They create safe and inclusive spaces where men can come together, foster social connections and actively participate in their communities.”
She said many sheds in the region played a key role in strengthening social connections and providing a welcoming space for men to contribute to their communities.
“Meeting with our men’s sheds across the electorate, I have seen firsthand the wonderful benefit they provide to not only their members, but also to the broader community,” Ms Cleeland said.
“I am also well aware that many groups have changing circumstances, have a need to expand, or require urgent repairs to help facilitate their programs.
“This funding round is a fantastic opportunity to build on vital existing programs or create new and improved ones that will benefit our community.”
Applications close on July 17.
