COMMUNITY

Noosa Women’s Shed launch

The Noosa Women’s Shed has been a labour of love for 7yrs, and on 17 June the dedicated volunteers celebrated a significant milestone. The grand opening of the new 'Shed' at Wallum Ln, Noosa Heads, marked a day of joy and accomplishment for everyone involved.

The new facility is more than a workspace – it is a place where women can pick up tools, share knowledge and make friends. Recent Qld Day Award winner, Shed President Julie Ainscough said, “The shed was built with community support, and we ask the community to continue to help so that it can become operational.” Significant funds are still needed to connect

electricity and sewerage, and construct bathroom and kitchen facilities. Julie acknowledged the support from Noosa Men’s Shed, Unity Water, Noosa Council, Federal MP for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien, Independent State MP for Noosa Sandy Bolton, Noosa Council’s Mayor Frank Wilkie and Cr Amelia Lorentson, along with local businesses, Noosa and Eumundi Rotary Clubs, the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club and Tewantin Noosa RSL.
