A Sharing Shed for Moonee Valley

The Moonee Valley Sharing Shed project is a community-led initiative that aims to create a “Library of Things” - a place where community members come to borrow useful but infrequently-used items like gardening equipment, kitchen appliances, sporting equipment, musical instruments, games and camping gear.

• No shed to keep a lawnmower?
• Can’t fit all your camping/sports gear in your apartment?
• Seems wasteful to buy everything for a one-off event?

Would you consider borrowing from your community?

We’d appreciate your time to let us know what access to a local Sharing Shed in Moonee Valley would mean for you and your family.

You’ll go into the draw to win a copy of the book 'Waste Not' by Erin Rhoads!

Estimated time to complete this survey is 5 mins.

We’ll keep you up to date with a newsletter which includes early notification of our upcoming information session. We value your support and will only send you Sharing Shed news. Oh, and we’ll need to contact you if you win the book prize!

Thank you for your time.

We’ll be holding a community information session soon as well, and will send information to you if you provided your email address.

If we gather sufficient community interest in a Sharing Shed, we’ll be seeking donations of items for the inventory, and putting together our volunteer team. Please stay tuned for more messages over coming months.

Good luck for the draw to win a book prize!
