Fraser Coast Regional Council – Community Grants Program
The Fraser Coast Regional Council Community Grants Program provides essential funding to
Not-for-Profit organisations across the Fraser Coast, enabling them to complete important
community projects.
The Burrum District Community Men’s Shed was fortunate to receive $4,041.00 in funding in
the 2025–2026 Combined Rounds 3 & 4. This grant is being used to purchase Air Dust filters
which are essential in removing fine particles of dust from work areas. Wood dust is extremely
carcinogenic and the Burrum District Community Men’s Shed has a duty of care to provide a
safe and healthy environment for the members.
The Air Filters were installed by members and a local
contractor was engaged to install power to the units.
The Men’s Shed members are extremely grateful to the
Fraser Coast Regional Council for their generous
support for this project.
Men’s Shed activities offer practical opportunities for
reconnection. Through shared projects, skill-building,
and peer support, members form meaningful
friendships, gain a renewed sense of purpose, and
enjoy belonging to a supportive community.
Thanks to the Fraser Coast Regional Council’s
support, the Burrum District Community Men’s Shed
can continue to provide a safe, welcoming space
where men from all walks of life can come together, support one another, and improve their
wellbeing through shared activity and connection.
