TEMS in Landscape

The Entrance Neighbourhood Centre precinct is nearing completion with the finalising of landscaping, pathways and gardens. Certainly the newly finished Shed complete with awning is now looking like part of the area.

Since the visit with Wyong Shire Council at the start of this month, the shed now has a driveway, fence and new awning at the front.

All ready for use, the contractors are using the shed for materials storage during the completion of landscaping so its already functioning as a shed, albeit until the official handover.

Pathways and fences, all now completed have integrated the Shed building into the site all ready for an opening in the near future.

First Entry

Julie Vaughn, Community Development Manager for Wyong Shire Council invited The Entrance Men's Shed committee to view the current progress on the shed.

The Committee was delighted to have this opportunity for first entry to the shed. Chairman Geoff led the contingent of John Sharples, Alan Kember, Col Kennedy, Kim Hopkins and John Roberts through the construction zone to the front of the shed.

Good to get the feel of the size and location in the overall project. The shed is pretty much complete inside. Still waiting on the awning that is dependent on the laying of surface outside, in front of the shed that will manage the run off from the Neighbourhood Centre precinct. Then there will be the fence and gates to complete "the Shed".

Planned date for access to the site to begin operation is the end of April 2009.

TEMS Fitting in

The shed now has white cladding on the upper portion and clearly defined spaces for the windows and door on the shed.

These two shots provide some idea of how the shed will fit into the environs of The Entrance Neighbourhood Centre.

Work still continues to build up the level to meet the roller door entrance and more of the final landscape is apparent in the area now.

The Entrance Men's Shed takes shape ...

This pic certainly captures the current state of building. The Tri-Steel team have now clad the the shed and the internal space can clearly be seen at this stage.

TEMS Battley Ave views

A couple of views from Battley Avenue looking south into the site.


The Shed now has a strong presence among the existing buildings. The newer materials and darker colours give it a unique visual impact among the older building even with their newly renovated exteriors and brighter colours.

TEMS Northerly Aspect

The view from the northern driveway into The Entrance Neighbourhood Centre carpark. The shed is set clearly defined now that it has been clad and taken a definite shape in its environment.
