‘Pick Shepp’ expands across Goulburn Valley
Greater Shepparton City Council and Fruit Growers Victoria’s seasonal worker attraction campaign ‘Pick Shepp’ has received additional funding to expand across the Goulburn Valley.
Launched in December, the campaign aimed at attracting seasonal workers from around Australia to the region to work the harvest and support Aussie farmers due to the impacts of COVID-19.
Fruit Growers Victoria was successful in applying to the Regional Recovery fund supported by Regional Development Victoria (RDV) for $500,000 to grow ‘Pick Shepp’ on a larger scale, and be rebranded as ‘Pick Goulburn Valley (GV)’ and deliver it throughout the wider region in partnership with Greater Shepparton City Council and Cobram and District Fruit Growers Association.

Works start on Timboon town centre project
Stage three of a multi-year project to revitalise Timboon’s town centre has started with works to replace the footbridge across Power Creek.
The Timboon Town Centre Activation Project will focus on the southern end of the town centre near the pool with 30 new car parks.
The car park next to IGA will be extended and the Lambert Street car park opposite the pool will be modified to accommodate the extra parks.
New footpaths, drainage works, tree planting, lighting, picnic and street furniture will be installed along Power Creek, highlighting the natural features connecting the town centre to the swimming pool.
