Shepparton Rail
The Victorian Government has recently announced $313m in its 2018/19 Budget to upgrade infrastructure and enable new VLocity trains to operate on the Shepparton line. This is such a great win for Greater Shepparton.
Shepparton Bypass
The Shepparton Bypass of the Goulburn Valley Highway was first proposed in the mid-1990s. After many years of no action, the project is back on the agenda.
Creative City
Last week saw the launch of 'Greater Shepparton - a Creative City' community consultation document. This document is aimed to promote Greater Shepparton as a Nationally significant and cultural city. Thank you to all those that attended the launch and a huge thank you to Anne McCamish for her commitment to the project.

GMID Water Forum
The GMID Water Forum was formed in 2015 by the Committee for Greater Shepparton and Independent Member for Shepparton for Shepparton Suzanna Sheed. The group commissioned the “Basin Plan – GMID socio-economic impact assessment” and has been active in advocacy for the region in relation to the plan.
Congratulations to everyone involved in such a great idea. Great to see our communities working together to create such a great music clip. 👏👏

GMW have been busy upgrading the Bulls Siphon near the Waranga Western Channel during the 2018 winter irrigation shut down period.
$2.5 million work on Bulls Siphon, which was designed and constructed ‘in-house’ by GMW, was delivered on time and about $200,000 under budget. The project involved removing the old deteriorated structure and replacing it with a new four-barrel three-metre diameter reinforced concrete structure, now flowing normally since the 6th August before the opening of the irrigation season.
Great with their savings they can afford to pay my settlement for inundating our hay crop late last year due to a telemetry failure on one of their gates. This is a gate that I am charged $900 a year to have read remotely. It gets even worse. I have been charged for years for an S&D outlet that doesn’t exist. After years of complaining with no response the threat of litigation got an inspection by GMW staff who confirmed no S& D outlet exits. For a $195 fee I can get the non existing outlet removed from our account. Now the banking Royal commission is over i look forward to Sharman Stones recommendation for a GMW Royal Commission. How many other customers have been charged for non existing infrastructure? How many other customers have experienced crop losses and significant financial loss by GMW unexplained inundation then are forced to litigate to seek any form of compensation?
Great work GMW!
