Tool Libraries

When a property is fire affected, it often starts with outbuildings and sheds, spots where tools and supplies are typically stored. The loss of those tools and assets makes recovery harder - that's where a local tool library can help!

We've setup a support portal that can be used to help build local tool libraries - that needs several things to be successful:
1/ Offers of useful, viable quality tools
2/ Requests for tools from fire affected families and farms
3/ Secure places for storage and pickup


You can get cracking on tool offers and requests by heading to our support portal.

"As an ex-Army Sapper and someone who's worked in equipment hire companies that support building trades, I've got insight into the problem and know we can deliver a successful result for communities in need."

Tool Wishlists

For some individuals, such as farmers and tradies, tools are essential for their livelihoods and may be the first items destroyed in fire. For them, a tool library might not suffice - what's needed instead is a wishlist that can be quickly addressed to help get them back onto their feet.

After putting out the call for feedback on our Tool Library, we received a sample wishlist to give you an idea of what's needed to help get a carpenter back up and running.

​We're interested to hear from innovators who can help put together fast wishlists that can be quickly checked off as matches are made, in order to reduce the risk of double up on items.
