Another day, another lockdown WITH 67 active cases in the community at the time of print, the State Government placed Greater Shepparton in another lockdown last Friday with restrictions the same as those in metropolitan Melbourne. Contact tracing measures will now shift to be focussed on Tier 1 sites, which means less people will be required to isolate. Tier 2 sites will stop being listed online. Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton has stated the reason the Tier 2 sites will not be published in future is due to the sheer number, “There are so many of them, whether or not we capture that information, people can’t go through a hundred pages of Tier 2 exposure sites online,” he said. He went on to say the ‘highest-risk’ exposure sites would still be listed. Continued Page 8

Heavy rainfall hits the Goulburn Valley AFTER a storm approaching from the north hit the region the night of Tuesday, September 28, 2021, the weather persisted, with solid rainfall, hail, thunder, and lightning. Flood warnings were issued for the Goulburn River on Wednesday morning, after rainfall up to 30mm was recorded. No r t he a st V ic to r i a n R ive r catchments have already been filled and flowing, thanks to a particularly wet winter. Additional
rain forecast added additional worries of flash flooding. The rainfall has exposed many areas around the city where the local drainage system is not keeping pace with the deluge. For the days following, the wet weather hung around blanketing the usually blue-and-sunny-skied region in grey clouds. There were even reports of lightning having struck a house in Tatura.
