Without a doubt, Greater Shepparton continues to be getting greater! Over the past 10 years we’ve actively attracted new and diverse businesses, supported the growth of our existing industries, offered a vibrant and healthy lifestyle that is the envy of many and attracted visitors far and wide to experience all that we have on offer.
Our entrepreneurial spirit leads the nation, with Greater Shepparton being the go-to destination for aspiring and existing entrepreneurs, with Bristax, a leading accounting agency, recently identifying Shepparton as the most thriving and prosperous entrepreneurial city in Australia! Being self-reliant and turning big ideas into a reality is part of our DNA.
During the past 10 years we have also faced our fair share of natural disasters and emergencies. Yet, in true Greater Shepparton style, we have once again united, worked collaboratively and supported each other to get back on our feet. Uniting in times of adversity is one of our many strengths.
As one of Victoria’s key regional cities, we are on the cusp of a new era for our region, with new and emerging industries and needing to capitalise on new opportunities created by technology, automation and AI, respond to the impacts of climate change and the possibilities created by renewable energies, meet the demand for new skills and ideas, while continuing to nurture a community that is connected, safe and thriving and diversely rich.
But as always, we are up for the challenge and will once again leverage our strengths and the opportunities that present to ensure that we are agile and better equipped to adapt to a world of ongoing change.
From a Council perspective, we are excited to continue to work hand in hand with our leaders, businesses, organisations and community to embrace and plan for the future. It’s only together that we have the capacity and capability to explore possibilities that will lead to an even greater future.
