WITH over 17 years’ experience working for Greater Shepparton City Council, Council candidate Shelley Sutton has a strong understanding of what the region requires in terms of our long-term outlook. Her role as the acting economic development manager with Council garnered her knowledge of what we require to ensure a successful future.
Mrs Sutton, who grew up on a farm in the Mallee, has lived in Shepparton for more than 35 years and ran her own retail businesses here for 14 years.
Mrs Sutton is a strong supporter of a 2050 plan that encompasses community submissions and is meticulous in its inception to ensure it benefits as many in the community as possible.
“A long-term plan for Greater Shepparton is imperative to ensuring our region has a sustainable and prosperous future,” she said.
“I believe the 2050 plan should be outlined as soon as possible to ensure an outcome that benefits all in the community.”
In addition to being an advocate of Greater Shepparton’s financial security, waste management and a review of Council rates, Mrs Sutton is also determined to ensure water is protected.
“If we fail to protect our water, it will be to the detriment of all industries in the Greater Shepparton region. A plan to safe-guard our water needs to be a key component of our 2050 plan,” she said.
