Greater Shepparton City Council is calling for feedback on the draft Greater Shepparton Heritage Strategy 2019, which was authorised for exhibition at the Ordinary Council Meeting held on Tuesday, 16 July 2019.
Council will be accepting feedback on the draft plan until Monday, 26 August 2019.
Greater Shepparton contains a wide variety of cultural heritage places of local, regional and state significance owing to its richly-layered history, dating back more than 40,000 years.
The region’s cultural heritage is an integral part of its identity. It connects Greater Shepparton with its past and tells the story of the municipality.
Today, these heritage places exist within a dynamic, evolving context as Greater Shepparton responds to the challenges of contemporary society and the ongoing necessity of development.
“The draft Greater Shepparton Heritage Strategy 2019 seeks to coordinate activities on heritage-related matters during the next four years, with the aim of addressing the challenges of conserving and integrating significant reminders of our heritage for the benefit of current and future generations,” Council Mayor Kim O’Keeffe said.
“It will provide direction for the ongoing work that is required to protect and manage our heritage places, cultural landscapes, and associated objects across the City of Greater Shepparton, listing actions to be taken under the themes of Knowing, Protecting, Supporting, Communicating and Promoting, and Building Capacity.”
A copy of the draft Strategy can be downloaded at the link below.
Submissions can be made by post to Greater Shepparton City Council, Locked Bag 1000, Shepparton VIC 3632, by emailing council@shepparton.vic.gov.au, or via the online form here.
