TEMS work start

Wyong Shire Council invited community groups that will be using the site at The Entrance Neighbourhood Centre (TENC) to an afternoon tea. This included the members of "The Entrance Men's Shed" (TEMS) Steering Committee. The afternoon tea was to celebrate the commencement of work on Phase 2 of the TENC project.

Somewhat dismayed by the removal of all mature trees. Community members asked that some consideration be given to retaining trees that would not be in the way of site development.

Whilst the TEMS Steering Committee is pleased to see work commence on the site, it will still be some time before The Shed will be operational. Building of an electricity substation, roadworks and landscaping will take some time before the Shed is even underway. Looking at February or April of 2009.
