Project Summary
The Aluminium Sliding Door to the Community Hall at 26 Research Street, Coolum Beach has been problematic for some time, with numerous efforts to fix it, becoming difficult.
The Community Hall was a gift from the Local Council and was provided to the Coolum Men’s Shed for community use. It was much appreciated and provides a valuable location for numerous group activities. It is in use 6 days per week and often on a seven-day booking cycle for community bookings.
The ongoing maintenance of the additional building has been supported by the Coolum Men’s Shed since its installation many years ago. Recent security upgrades to the property, has drained available funds. There is a cleaning and maintenance project earmarked for the Community Hall, once the adjacent Stage 2 EDQ Industrial Estate Development is complete. This cleaning maintenance and repainting will be paid for by the Coolum Men’s Shed.
The replacement of the aluminium sliding door was not anticipated in the general budget of the Men’s Shed and has the potential to financially distress the organisation, where these costs were not predicted.
Project Outcomes
Safe and continued access, without disruption, for the Coolum Womens Shed and The Coolum Mens Shed members, who use the facilities.
