Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor and Regional Cities Victoria (RCV) Chair, Councillor Shane Sali, has been appointed to the Victorian Government’s Drought Response Taskforce.
The taskforce, to be chaired by Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan, will bring together advocates from different communities and backgrounds to provide advice on further help for farmers, as well as broader support for impacted businesses and communities.
“I look forward to continuing my conversations with farmers on the ground and hearing from them exactly what assistance they need to overcome the devastating conditions, which have left them with dry paddocks, dams and increasing production costs,” Cr Sali said.
“I am pleased to have a seat at the table, allowing me to bring these firsthand experiences to the taskforce to help inform further regional support.”
