Mayor’s message

Greater Shepparton City Council’s vision is "Greater Shepparton, Greater Future; as the Food Bowl of Australia a sustainable, innovative and diverse community."

It is a great honour to serve the community at the helm of a progressive regional Council with a strong vision for the future and to be involved with an active community that is keen to work together to make our municipality such a wonderful place.

Throughout my dealings with industry, government and community leaders during the year, it is obvious that Greater Shepparton City Council is a well recognised as a progressive city and it is thanks to our strong community and the commitment of many community leaders, businesses and Council staff to supporting this future.

I am incredibly proud of our municipality and commend it to anyone considering a visit or a more permanent stay. I trust this LG Focus feature highlights some of the many opportunities available in our region as well

as the many innovative projects that are underway in the municipality.

Water and community have been a strong theme of our past and our future and we move through 2011with a sense of hope and optimism for the future knowing that we have a caring, adaptable and progressive community that creates its own opportunities and can meet any challenge that comes our way.
