HISTORY AND PURPOSE

The Newcastle Men’s Shed

History

The Shed was founded in 2014 and was located in the administration building at the old BHP site until December 2017 when we had to vacate due to the site remediation process. After 4 months of homelessness we were invited to take up residency within the Waratah Mayfield Men’s Shed. In August 2018 we moved to 50 Clyde Street Hamilton North to be part of the Community Hub joining with six other Community Organisations. The initial agreement being a 12 Month trial to ensure our relationship with the other groups meet the collectives objective after which a 3 x 3 lease agreement would be offered.  All this changed in February 2019 when the building’s owner informed all hub members that he required vacant position by August 2019. We remained there till March 16 2020 when we moved to the corner of Tighe and Railway streets Newcastle West. These premises were supplied in a very Generous Gesture By the McCloy group for a 6 month period In September 2020 we moved to 99 Beaumont Street Hamilton , Premises supplied by the Westpac Bank on a 1 year lease.

We have received from the Newcastle Council a change in the DA of a rail property off Kings Street New Lambton, The lease agreement has been finalized with Sydney Trains. Hopefully this will continue to be our new Home for the long term future.
