This ‘Worker’s Shed’ (B06) project forms part of the larger Jacksons Hill/ Sunbury Community Arts & Cultural Precinct. The vision of the Sunbury Community Arts and Cultural Precinct is to create a destination that preserves and celebrates Sunbury’s significant cultural heritage and supports arts, community, cultural, social and learning activities that are connected, creative, vibrant, inviting, inclusive and valued. This component of the project includes the adaptive reuse of the under-utilised 1960’s workshop building. The non-heritage listed ‘out-building’ provides the community with a new place to learn and develop their woodwork skills in a range of ‘clean’ and ‘dirty’ workshop environments. To bring the original building up to code, a new steel portal frame is inserted to brace the existing brick perimeter walls and to pick-up a new metal roof. The roof forms part of a water collection strategy, enabling re-use and recycle throughout the building and landscape.
