AS the organiser behind Run for Life, Allan Turner has spent the past 14 years working with all levels of government in seeking the best outcomes to save lives through organ and tissue donation.
Mr Turner’s platform of interest in running for a seat on the Greater Shepparton City Council is to develop strong strategies to grow Greater Shepparton in both business and community outcomes.
According to Mr Turner, that can happen if we increase opportunities for employment in the Goulburn Valley, especially for our youth, and increase major sporting events for the region to be known as the capital of sport in regional Australia.
He said he would also develop and implement new strategies to fill the empty shops we have in the CBD and surrounding towns by establishing or providing incentives for new business to open.
“I would bring to this role a fresh approach with new eyes and enthusiasm to deliver the best outcomes for the wider community and the needs of business growth throughout the Goulburn Valley,” Mr Turner said.
“It is vitally important that leadership is needed from Council on so many levels during and post COVID-19. My proven background of working closely with the community and business will allow me to voice the views needed to be heard around the Council chambers to deliver the right outcomes and the benefits of all concerned.”
