Cr Shane Sali – Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor

What a year Greater Shepparton has had.

Over the past 12 months we have experienced some captivating highs and some devastating lows.

The hardest of those being the October 2022 flood event which saw the municipality inundated with floodwaters.

During this time we saw families isolated, our two largest towns Shepparton and Mooroopna separated, and damage to thousands of homes, businesses and community assets.

Despite this, the community spirit and resilience shown by residents was truly remarkable.

The community stepped up to support one another and handled the situation with such strength and compassion.

Following on from this, we saw the return of some popular community and sporting events in the region, along with the completion of several major infrastructure projects.

Council continued to support our local business sector, and worked closely alongside industry to boost the region’s visitor economy, including the launch of our new destination brand Shepparton and Goulburn Valley.

We look forward to continuing this positive work over the next 12 months and continuing to grow our presence as the regional city we all know and love.
