    Repair Café

    At Repair Café Bassendean, you’ll find tools and materials to help you make any repairs you need to your much loved items.  Repair Café Bassendean is an initiative based in Bassendean that aims to minimise waste and strengthen our community. All are welcome.

    Post-consumer waste has become a huge problem in modern society, and this partly stems from a culture of discarding broken or unused items, including clothing and electronics. We’re here to help those in our community who want to save their items from landfill and bring back a culture of repairing.

    Visit the Repair Café Bassendean website to learn more or volunteer. 

    Share Shed Bassendean is a great community initiative where volunteers run a ‘library of things’.  Share Shed members get free access to a range of extremely useful but infrequently used communal items from lawnmowers to camping gear without the need to purchase them for individual use.
