A BIG week at the Korumburra Women’s Shed! 💜
It’s been a BIG week for our Women’s Shed, and we have some wonderful news to share! 🌿✨
We are absolutely thrilled to announce that the Korumburra Women’s Shed & Gallery has been awarded a $10,000 Community Grant from South Gippsland Shire Council. 🎉
This funding will help us with the essential professional work required to progress our Planning Permit Application. This includes the building assessments, plans for the water connection and accessible ramp, professional advice and the documentation we need to move forward.
We are incredibly grateful for this support from South Gippsland Shire Council.
💜 A very special visit to our Shed
Today we also had the pleasure of welcoming Allison Jones, CEO of South Gippsland Shire Council, along with 11 wonderful women from Council, to our Women's Shed.
It was a fantastic opportunity to show our progress so far in getting the shed ready, share our vision for the Women’s Shed, what our Shed will offer women across South Gippsland and beyond, and why having a dedicated space for women to connect, learn, create, grow and thrive is so important.
Suffice to say, Allison and the Council team were really impressed and incredibly supportive of our Women's Shed, our Committee and our amazing community of women. 💜
🛠️ So… where are we up to?
We are getting close.
Our building assessments and plans are nearing completion, and once our Planning Permit Application is submitted and the necessary approvals are in place, we will be one very big step closer to being able to assemble at the Goods Shed and open our doors.
We know the wait has been challenging — it’s certainly been challenging for us too!
But behind the scenes, there has been an enormous amount of work happening to get us to this point. Our Committee and amazing Shed community have continued to work incredibly hard.
We are a resilient group of South Gippsland women, fully committed to opening our Women’s Shed as soon as we can - a welcoming, safe and inclusive place where women can come together to connect, learn, create, share skills, make friendships, try new things, build confidence and simply enjoy being part of a community of women.
🌸 So please, stay the course with us!
We are making progress, and we really are getting closer.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us, encouraged us, been patient with us and continued to believe in what we are building.
We will keep you updated every step of the way — and we cannot wait for the day we can finally open those doors and welcome you into our Korumburra Women’s Shed & Gallery and our community. 🥰
The wait will be worth it. 💜
