As Greater Shepparton City Council reviews its Asset Plan, residents are urged to voice their opinions on what they believe is essential for the community’s future.
Council’s asset management oversees more than 100 services related to various facilities, infrastructure and living assets.
These services are categorised into four main groups: transport, open spaces, buildings and stormwater.
Council director of infrastructure Gary Randhawa said as the city expanded and the population rose, the number of assets being managed had also significantly expanded.
“It’s important to maintain, replace or dispose of existing assets when they reach the end of their life cycle,” he said.
“The Asset Plan defines service levels to the community and determines how our portfolio of assets is managed.
“It works with the Financial Plan to provide a balance between what is affordable and what is aspirational.”
Community involvement is key to this review.
Residents are invited to share their priorities, indicating what they want council to focus on.
The consultation period lasts until Friday, March 21, with opportunities to contribute feedback online at shepp.city/assetplan or in person.
For those who prefer a face-to-face approach, council will be present at various locations, including the Summer City Market in Shepparton on Friday, February 21, and the Tatura Community House on Wednesday, March 5.
For more details and to stay updated, residents should check council’s website to confirm event times and locations.
