Greater Shepparton City Council is seeking community input to assist with the development of its Economic Development, Visitor Economy and Major Events Strategy 2023-2027.
The aim of the strategy is to provide council with a unified approach for guiding sustainable growth, economic resilience and enhancing the viability of the economy, tourism industry and events sector.
Council director sustainable development Geraldine Christou encouraged people to have their say.
“We will be seeking feedback via a survey, as well as holding stakeholder workshops. Keep an eye out for more information on how you can be involved,” she said.
“The focus of the strategy is to identify opportunities to promote investment, visitation and economic growth, all within a constantly changing domestic and international economic landscape.”
Consultation commenced on Friday, April, 21, with community members encouraged to provide individual submissions via the Shaping Greater Shepp website.
Everyone who completes the survey will enter the draw to win a Shepparton and Goulburn Valley Region Hamper to the value of $200.
The hamper includes a $100 voucher to Cellar 47, a family pass to MOVE, Wild Life Brewing Co merchandise and a coffee pack from GB Coffee.
