LAST Wednesday saw Michael McCormack, the Deputy Prime Minister of Australia visit a number of places around the electorate of Nicholls with local member, Damian Drum.
The Federal Government has contributed to a number of local projects that have now taken shape on the local skyline. Chief among them were the new Echuca- Moama bridge, our new art gallery, SAM, the new building for Connect GV, the Shepparton Bypass and the COVID vaccine rollout.
“The Shepparton Art Museum, is a case of community spirit second to none in Australia and this is what regional Australia is all about. It is about connecting community. It is about making these communities more liveable. And it’s one of the reasons why so many Melbournians, so many Sydneysiders are actually choosing to come to regional Australia to live,” said Mr McCormack.
At Connect GV, while Mr McCormack was given a tour of the new facility, he spent time talking to the staff and the participants taking some time out to shoot a few hoops on the basketball square.
