One vision, three plans – Final chance to have your say on Greater Shepparton’s future
Posted on
Thursday 4th of September, 2025,
There is only a few days left for the community to have their say on three of Greater Shepparton City Council’s largest and most important strategic documents – the Draft Council Plan 2025–2029, Draft Asset Plan 2025–2035 (including the Asset Management Policy), and the Draft Financial Plan 2025–2035.
Consultation is now open and will close on Tuesday 9 September 2025, giving the community a further opportunity to review the draft plans before they are finalised and adopted by Council.
Each of these draft plans were developed in consultation with the community, with surveys, focus groups and deliberative workshops used to gather feedback, understand the community’s priorities and inform the draft documents.
The Draft Council Plan 2025–2029 outlines the strategic direction for Council over the next four years. It sets the goals, priorities and actions that guide decision-making and ensure resources are directed where they are needed most.
Development of the Draft Council Plan began back in July 2024, with broad community consultation. A Community Panel was established for deliberative workshops, with participants sharing their thoughts and ideas around the priorities for Council over the next four years. This was followed by workshops with Councillors to fine tune the strategic direction of the plan.
The Draft Council Plan is centred around the five strategic outcomes of economy, infrastructure, liveability, environment, and your council, with each having strategic indicators and priorities to achieve over the next four years.
The Draft Asset Plan 2025–2035 details how Council will look after the infrastructure and facilities our community depends on each day. Council is responsible for over $2 billion in assets, including roads, footpaths, buildings, parks, drains, vehicles and technology. Council is also seeking feedback on its Asset Management Policy which outlines its commitment to the management of its assets, acknowledging the essential role they play in delivering quality services to the community.
The Draft Financial Plan 2025–2035 provides a long-term financial roadmap to ensure Council remains sustainable while delivering for the community.
Each of these draft documents are available to view on Council’s Shaping Greater Shepp website, with an opportunity to provide feedback until Tuesday 9 September 2025. Once consultation closes, the feedback received will be reviewed and each of the draft documents updated to reflect any further changes, ahead of the documents being presented at an upcoming Council Meeting for adoption.
Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, encouraged community members to have a read of each document and provide their feedback.
“These plans are central to shaping Greater Shepparton’s future. We listened to the feedback from our community when developing these drafts, and now is the time to make sure they reflect what matters most to residents,” he said.
“We are asking the community to take one more look and let us know if we have got the balance right, whether that is improving our public spaces, maintaining local facilities, or allocating funding in a sustainable way. Your feedback will help us finalise these important plans.”
