June 7, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington joined other community leaders for the official opening of a Men’s Shed at Kilkivan last Thursday.<\/p>\n

The “Kilkivan Veterans and Community Men\u2019s Shed” was officially opened by Queensland Men’s Shed patron Prof Graeme Nimmo, husband of State Governor Dr Jeannette Young.<\/p>\n

Also present were Gympie Mayor Glen Hartwig and Deputy Mayor Hilary Smerdon.<\/p>\n

“A special shoutout to founders Dave and Bella Timperley and their team of volunteers, whose many years of determination and persistence helped bring this project to fruition,” Mrs Frecklington said.<\/p>\n

“While they faced many hurdles, they never gave up, resulting in a fantastic community shed for Kilkivan.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mrs Frecklington said the Kilkivan Shed was unique as there were women among its 27 members.<\/p>\n

“They are also a part of the Defence and Emergency Sheds Association, providing services for ex-servicemen and women in our community,” she said.<\/p>\n

“I am a strong supporter of the Men\u2019s Shed initiative and the benefits they provide, especially in smaller regional townships like Kilkivan.<\/p>\n

“In fact, 2023 marks the 30th anniversary of Men\u2019s Sheds in Australia.<\/p>\n

“Since the first community shed for men opened its doors in South Australia in 1993, the Men\u2019s Shed community has grown to encompass more 1297 Men’s Sheds across Australia and a total of 2500 sheds across 12 countries.”<\/p>\n
