Our Shed

It’s taken awhile, in fact it’s taken longer than we all thought it would!  We have been caught several times in “red-tape” with the last 3 locations that we had for our shed.  But a concerted effort with VBRRA has seen what we hope will be the purchase of our new home!

You may have all heard that we were “given” $315,000 for the purchase of a building.  Not quite correct, but close.

It is correct that VBRRA have allocated these funds for the express purpose of purchasing a building for the Kinglake Ranges Mens Shed, but we were not given these funds.  This building is now in the process of being purchased and ownership will be held by the Kinglake Trust Reserve. The building will then be leased to the Kinglake Ranges Mens Shed for the foreseeable future. The Committee have gone through the relevant legal papers (which are now with our solicitor) and all going to plan we will take over in June 2010.

We’ll let you know further details soon.
