The Committee for Greater Shepparton was established to unite the region's business and community leaders to influence public policy, advocate on issues to strengthen the economy and make the region a more vibrant place to live. The Committee is supported by over 80 of the most influential businesses, community organisations and statutory authorities from the region.
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.
Northern Vic’s food manufacturing sector is stocking shelves all over the world and paying wages here at home. #WeAreFromHere.
Yesterday's water forum brought together a wealth of knowledge and expertise and a lot of robust discussion about what socio-economic neutrality means for the GMID.
With only three months left until Basin Ministers meet to finalise a new test for the 450 GL, we will be finalising our view of neutrality principles to avoid further community hardship and negative impacts on the water market by further constraining supply.

Heard some of the interview live, congratulations. It struck me that the committee had achieved more for the region than numerous politicians
