The five tool sheds, constructed for remote communities in East Gippsland, have now arrived in the staging area in Bairnsdale. These sheds have been built by carpentry students at Swinburne University, under arrangements set up by the Rotary Club of Croydon/Montrose. The plan is that these sheds will finally be delivered to sites where we will fill them with tools provided under a concurrent project by the Rotary Club of Drouin. The intention is that, when established, these sheds will become a ‘library’ of tools available to be borrowed by residents (and later returned) in the same way that others borrow books from a library. The tools from Drouin have also been delivered to Bairnsdale and seven volunteers from Lakes Entrance will start the process of sorting and allocating the tools next week. It’s great to see this long-term project taking another step forward!
