A TOTAL of 750 submissions and 38 verbal briefing presentations over a two-day period from residents, business owners and community members who wished to be heard on the proposal to sell airspace above the Maude, Nixon and Edward Streets Car Park have been heard by Greater Shepparton City Council.

Each of these submissions and verbal briefings, including all material provided by submitters to Council at the briefings, will be heard by Council officers and considered before they prepare two reports to Council.

This includes a conversation report which will outline the consultation process, contents of submissions and Council officers’ responses to each of the concerns raised, and a Council report that will make a recommendation to Council on the proposal.

All submissions, verbal briefings and Council officers’ reports will then be considered by Council at a future Council Meeting. Due to the length of submissions and verbal briefings received, reviewing all of the feedback and recommendations will take time. Council officers have also commissioned additional technical expert reports to appropriately analyse and respond to matters raised in submissions.

As part of the process, Council officers may be in contact with submitters to clarify any concerns raised in their submissions or verbal briefings. A copy of the recording of the verbal briefing can be found on Council’s Shaping Greater Shepp website shaping.greatershepparton.com.au/edward-st-affordable-housing.
