BEN Ladson wants to make Greater Shepparton the best it can be, where people are proud to live, which is why he is running in the McEwen Ward in the upcoming council election.
Ben is a current member of the Greater Shepparton City Council. In his time on council, Ben has been proud of reducing the deficit, appointing a new CEO, endorsing local contracts and opening the Vibert Reserve Pavilion.
“Providing good governance and delivering the services that the community deserves and expects are my key priorities. There’s a lot of exciting projects happening right in the McEwen Ward that I want to continue to support,” said Ben.
A local teacher in the special education sector for over ten years, Ben is also the owner of Gamer’s Resort, which provides an outlet for young and old to come together to play a wide range of games. He has been on the committee for McEwen Reserve Tennis Club since its amalgamation in 2004/05.
From his time on council, Ben sees the housing shortage, the amount of heavy vehicles through Mooroopna and Shepparton, and the increasing demand for drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in the area as some of the biggest issues that need to be addressed.
“I want people to be proud of where we live. The ability to listen to and respond to our community is what I have brought to the role and will continue to do so. I am passionate about continuing to deliver the best outcomes for Greater Shepparton.”
