The Committee for Greater Shepparton calls for stage 2 of the G.V. Health re-development to be funded.
An independent assessment commissioned by the Committee shows that the full stage 2 investment, including mental health and cancer facilities, is likely to cost between $272 million and $374 million. This is on top of the $171 million allocated to stage 1 by the Andrews government in 2016.

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.

Committee for Greater Shepparton welcomes the announcement by Coca-Cola Amatil of a successful sale of SPC. We look forward to meeting the new owners, Shepparton Partners Collective, and working with them to ensure that SPC remains an iconic Shepparton based food producing business.
