Greater Shepparton City Council’s flood recovery team, Resilience in Recovery, announced they will spend time at community houses across Greater Shepparton starting in February.

The initiative enables residents to link with flood recovery services, receive appropriate resources and information, and provide feedback to officials regarding how they can be better supported.

The team will be joined by service providers, including representatives from the Goulburn Flood Recovery Service, Wellways, EACH Wellbeing, Arc Justice and Windermere, to ensure tailored service information is available to all.

The gatherings are scheduled at Murchison Neighbourhood House, North Shepparton Community and Learning Centre, South Shepparton Community Centre, and Mooroopna Education and Activity Centre from 9am to 3pm.

Residents are encouraged to visit the team during these hours at their convenience.

Council’s manager of flood recovery, Carla Dixon, said the team are looking forward to working at each of the community houses over the coming months to meet residents and have face-to-face conversations.

“The flood recovery team is continually seeking feedback and input from flood-impacted communities to help shape the Greater Shepparton recovery program, so being available to residents in their towns is important,” she said.

Resilience in Recovery was established to support the community’s recovery following the October 2022 flood event.

This initiative is the latest effort to improve residents’ quality of life, build resilience, and foster community cohesion following flood impacts.
