About the Business
Welcome to the Gold Coast Tool Library, located at Robina on Ron Penhaligon Way. As an establishment, point of interest, and store, we offer a unique solution to the problem of owning tools and household goods that are rarely used.
Do you find yourself in need of a specific tool, but know you would only use it once or twice a year? Is your home overflowing with items you hardly use, taking up valuable space? At the Gold Coast Tool Library, we believe in the power of sharing and community.
Our mission is to operate inclusive, vibrant, and thriving community hubs that enhance the natural environment by reducing the demands for natural resources. We achieve this by enabling materials to be shared, repaired, upcycled, and reused. Our accessible and inclusive hub brings together diverse community groups and promotes a sense of belonging through sharing, engagement, participation, education, and wellbeing.
The Gold Coast Tool Library is a volunteer-led initiative that allows everyone to have access to tools and household goods without the need to purchase expensive items or store gear that is only occasionally used. Similar to a traditional book lending library, we lend tools, camping gear, sporting goods, gardening tools, and a variety of other useful household items.
With our online catalogue, you can easily browse and plan your next activity. Whether you need tools for renovations, a tent for camping, or gear for a party, we have you covered. Simply visit us during opening hours to collect your reserved items. You can borrow up to 5 items each week for a loan period of 7 days. At the end of your loan period, bring the borrowed items back in a clean and tidy condition and borrow again.
The Gold Coast Tool Library exists thanks to the generous support of people like you. Help us promote the sharing of resources, reduce waste, support repair initiatives, and build community by donating your time, tools, funding, or skills. Join our inclusive team and connect with your local community while reducing waste and helping the planet.
We are always looking for enthusiastic volunteers with diverse skills to join us as librarians, event hosts, fixers and menders, admin and web techie people, or in any other way you can contribute. Most of our tools are donated by our generous community, so if you have items you would like to donate, please view all the details on our website.
As a not-for-profit incorporated association, all funds go towards operating the tool library, hosting Repair Café events, and maintaining, repairing, and purchasing more equipment. We welcome regular and one-off donations, and every donation is greatly appreciated.
If you have a passion for maintaining tools and equipment in safe working order, enjoy training others or hosting workshops, or simply love helping people, there are many ways you can be involved with the Tool Library, Repair Café, and events. Visit our Volunteer page for more information.
Stay up to date with our new tool arrivals, latest happenings, Repair Café events, news, community initiatives, and more by subscribing to our newsletter. We promise not to spam your inbox - we are all volunteers and no one has time for that.
You can also support us by trading your empty bottles. Simply deposit your empty containers at collection points around the Gold Coast and choose to donate to the Gold Coast Tool Library. It's a simple and effective way to help us operate our community-based Tool Library.
Thank you for considering the Gold Coast Tool Library as a resource for your tool and household goods needs. Together, we can make a positive impact on our community and the environment.
