Having served a Mayor of Greater Shepparton from 2008 to 2011, Geoff Dobson has once more nominated for a Councillor position in the next elections in October.

Geoff has had more than 20 years’ experience in municipal, government and community boards of management which he feels puts him in a unique position to understand the challenges the community faces.

He sees the COVID-19 pandemic, with the associated financial restraints on our community and the social upheaval that was created, will be the biggest challenge to local government over the next 4 years.

Mr Dobson says, “My focus will include climate change, the environment, social inclusion, financial management, business activation, longer term planning, supporting our towns and the resolution of Shepparton’s central business district.”

The Greater Shepparton City Council elections will take place on October 24, 2020 and nominations for Councillor have until September 22 to submit their candidacy.
