The tools are on the road!

For four years, the Toolbox has been lending hundreds of items from our base in Watson.

The ToolBus launched in October 2025 and scales to match demand and volunteers. There is currently one Saturday stop with a mid-week Belconnen stop in the making.

This will give more Canberrans access to equipment they only need a few times a year – like lawnmowers, sewing machines, power tools and kayaks.

Members use our existing online platform to reserve items and nominate the Watson site or ToolBus stop for pickup. Drop off can be at any scheduled location (or the Watson site). Our existing rules and procedures apply. You can find more information by exploring this website.

Stop schedule (Saturdays only)
Minns Place, Weston 10am-11am

Deadline for ToolBus reservations is 9am on the day. These stops might change as we respond to volunteer availability and member needs.
