I am honoured to provide a contribution to the Our Goulburn Valley magazine and acknowledge The Shepparton Adviser on its 10th anniversary edition of the feature.
The Goulburn Valley is a wonderful place to live and work and is home to many diverse industries and business sectors that provide employment for thousands of people and enhance our region’s reputation as an innovative leader in these sectors.
Our agricultural and horticultural sectors grow produce that end up on kitchen tables all around Australia and many parts of the world and the Goulburn Valley is rightly known as the Food Bowl of Australia. As such, our region plays a vital role in growing both Victoria’s and the nation’s economies.
The Goulburn Valley is home to other important industries such as transport and logistics, engineering and manufacturing, health, education and the arts.
The Goulburn Valley community has faced and conquered many challenges in recent times, and it is the resilience of our people and our businesses that ensures our region continues to grow into the future.
I love living and raising my family in the Goulburn Valley and I am proud that it is the home of world-class produce and goods enjoyed around the world.
