Lithgow City Council has received a proposal from the Wallerawang Men’s Shed to use the Wallerawang Memorial Hall for its operations. Council then resolved on 27 February 2017 as follows:
THAT Council:

1. Consult with the Wallerawang community on the proposal for Wallerawang Men’s Shed to have exclusive use of Wallerawang Memorial Hall and note that should there be significant community objections, report these back to Council.
2. Enter a draft lease agreement with Wallerawang Men’s Shed for a period of 5 years and an annual rent of $470 pa + CPI.
3. Publicly notify the draft lease proposal for a period of twenty-eight (28) days in accordance with Section 47 and 47A of the Local Government Act and note that any submissions received will be reported back to Council prior to finalising any lease agreement.

This proposal will not affect the activities of the Wallerawang Kids Club which has indicated its support for the proposal.

Men’s Sheds play a significant role in addressing isolation, loneliness and depression in men of all ages. Men's sheds help connect men with their communities and at the same time act as a catalyst in stimulating their community’s activities.

The community of Wallerawang is invited to make submissions on this proposal and the draft leasing arrangements. Submissions are to be in writing and addressed to:

Mr Andrew Muir
Acting General Manager
Lithgow City Council
PO Box 19
