WHAT is your vision for our local towns? Greater Shepparton City Council has commenced work on the next Council Plan 2025-2019 and is seeking community feedback to shape the vision for the municipality. The plan will guide decision-making, service delivery and resource allocation for the next four years.

The community are invited to share their priorities through an online survey, which also offers respondents the chance to join a Community Panel for focussed discussions. The goal is to create a diverse panel representing different ages, genders, locations, backgrounds and cultures.

“The Council Plan is the most important strategy for Council as it provides clear direction on how our community want to live, work, play and do business in Greater Shepparton into the future, and the role that Council plays in shaping the region,” said chief executive officer, Fiona Le Gassick.

“Importantly, it details our priorities and focus areas for the next four years, including the initiatives that will continue to make Greater Shepparton a desirable, healthy, prosperous, safe and inclusive place to live.”

The survey opened July 22 and will be available until Friday, September 13 at the Shaping Greater Shepp website, https://shaping.greatershepparton.com.au/

Hard copies are also available from the Customer Service counter and other locations to be confirmed. If you require assistance, please contact Council at council@shepparton.vic.gov.au or 5832 9700.

Once the survey closes, an engagement report will be developed, and community members will be selected for the Community Panel. Council will adopt the final Council Plan 2025-2029 in June 2025.
