REGIONAL Cities Victoria (RCV) is a leadership group comprised of the mayors and CEOs of the largest 10 cities outside of Melbourne, including Shepparton, Bendigo and Mildura.
Collectively home to more than 600k Victorians, RCV members work co-operatively on issues and projects of mutual interest that affect regional cities, as well as the whole state of Victoria, with a vision to build a sustainable Victoria through regional growth.
On Thursday, February 16, Greater Shepparton City Council mayor, Cr Shane Sali was pleased to be elected for the first time, as deputy chair of RCV, complementing City of Bendigo mayor, Cr Andrea Metcalf as chair.
Thanking RCV representatives for their support in electing him to the position, Cr Sali said, “I look forward to seeing what we can achieve collectively.
“Regional cities across Victoria have faced several years of hardship, however, they have shown great resilience and strength as they continue to work through their recovery.
“It is so important that we continue to advocate to improve the infrastructure, services and amenities in regional areas to continue to attract people to work, live and visit these parts of the state,” Cr Sali said.
