Scoot the hell out of the CBD

By Aaron Cordy THEY are the fast, easy way to zip around town with zero fuel cost and are marketed as good for the environment, but E-Scooters have gained a reputation as a menace as quickly as they gained popularity with riders.

The reckless behaviour of e-scooter riders shows that not enough is known about the rules, or that people are deliberately ignoring them, which has caused safety concerns for many Continued Page 18 residents.

Local levee knowledge needed to help flood planning

REVITALISATION... Greater Shepparton City Council will host the second of two dropin information sessions for residents to provide feedback on the future revitalisation of KidsTown Adventure Park this Thursday, October 2. Photo: Deanne Jeffers

Reminder:

KidsTown consultation drop-in session GREATER Shepparton City Council is inviting residents to take part in consultation for the revitalisation of KidsTown Adventure Playground. With ageing infrastructure and significant flood damage in 2022, Council is planning rehabilitation works and developing a new Master Plan for the beloved site.

At the August Council Meeting, Council committed to a comprehensive community engagement process to shape the Master Plan and allocated $650,000 in the 2025/26 financial year to deliver works in collaboration with key stakeholders.

Phase one of the engagement process runs until October 31 and will give residents the chance to share their views on the remediation process and the timing of the removal of noncompliant equipment, helping project teams

plan with community feedback in mind.

Consultation activities include on-site information sessions at KidsTown, along with online feedback opportunities through Council’s Shaping Greater Shepp website.

The second of two drop-in information sessions will be held Thursday, October 2, between 4pm and 6pm at KidsTown.

Council encourages everyone, including both past and future users of KidsTown, to get involved and help shape a destination that reflects the values and needs of the Greater Shepparton community.

Phase Two will include pop-up information sessions and targeted workshops with schools and community groups.

For more information and to participate, visit shepp.city/kidstown.

suppor ting Goulburn Broken, Nor th Central, North East and Mallee catchment management authorities to work with local government and VICSES on the project, following the 2022 floods.

A levee is a human-made structure built to contain, control or divert the flow of water to provide protection from flooding.

Mr Tierney said the Goulburn Broken CMA had so far documented known levees and categorised them based on their operation and function.

“The project has identified and categorised levees north of Avenel to the Murray River, in the Goulburn Broken catchment,” he said.

“There is a mapping portal for community members to view the levees, which have been preliminary assessed and categorised.

“We are keen to receive feedback from the community on the levee mapping to date and about any levees which may have been overlooked or are yet to be identified.”

Submit feedback by Friday, October 17 to planning@gbcma.vic.gov.au or by mail to the Floodplain Manager, Goulburn Broken CMA, PO Box 1752, Shepparton, VIC, 3630.

RESIDENTS throughout the region are called to share their knowledge of levee locations to support work being done by the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority to bolster flood preparedness.

Goulburn Broken CM A Floodplain Manager, Guy Tierney, said the intention of the levee project was to research, develop and prepare flood information that will improve intelligence to assist with flood preparedness, infrastructure resilience and to improve existing flood management strategies and plans.

The project will identify levees requiring ongoing management and unmanaged levees which may need to be reinforced ahead of a flood. Other levees in the landscape providing limited community benefit will also be identified but these will not be maintained.

“That way, in times of flood there is centralised information available that can assist agencies such as VICSES, local councils and catchment management authorities to understand where floodwater is most likely to flow,” Mr Tierney said.

The Victorian Government has invested $2.7M for the strategic levee project,

Co - convenor of Sheppa r ton Reg ion Reconciliation Group Uncle Bobby Nicholls officially Welcomed the event and commended Primary Care Connect on this significant step towards reconciliation. Wendy Ross, Board Chair of Primary Care Connect formally addressed the audience.

"Today is the culmination of a journey that has spanned the last 18 months starting with the organisation’s endorsement of an official 'Commitment to Reconciliation' statement in 2023. Today, we commit to a deeper understanding and partnership with First Nations communities. This Reconciliation Action Plan is a crucial step on our journey to becoming an organisation that truly reflects diversity and inclusion," said Ms Ross.

NATURAL SAPPHIRE BIRTHSTONE OF THE MONTH

Shepparton Villages has been working closely with the Maggie Beer Foundation this year on a journey of continuous improvement to the food and dining experience that we offer residents at our three residential aged care communities in and around Shepparton.

With expert help, and regular food surveys and sampling amongst residents at our Maculata Place facility, we’ve been fine-tuning what our chefs are able to put on the menu at all our locations.

The challenge for us – and for all aged care providers – is to make sure that mealtimes can be an enjoyable experience, not just a necessity.

And that food can be made delicious and interesting as well as “good for you”!

In recent months our kitchen and catering teams have been giving dedicated attention in particular to creating meals that are extra tasty but also rich in nutritional terms and, for those who need it, easier than ever to swallow and digest as well.

It takes careful thought and a willingness to experiment with a mix of new ideas and old favourites - but so far it’s been paying off in terms of ongoing food improvements and in creating a lot of lively discussion and ‘buzz’ around the place.

Let’s face it, who doesn’t enjoy a good natter about food and drink?!

Shepparton Police remember their fallen continued from front page SINCE the formation of the Victoria Police in 1853, 178 police officers have fallen in the line of duty. This year's Blue Ribbon Day is a stark reminder of the risks and dedication Police Officers face every day after the recent tragedy in Porepunkah. Many local Police officers knew Detective Leading Senior Constable Neal Thompson and Senior Constable Vadim De Waart.

“Today means a lot more to the members and to the community. I think we had double the amount of attendees this year compared

to last year, which was expected,” said Victoria Police Chaplain David Doherty.

“For the former members who have a tie to Damien Eyre, being here means a lot to us to be able to acknowledge those members who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and those who have died, who have worked for Victoria Police as well and celebrate them for the work they've done for our police community.”

Calling all photographers!

FEDERAL Member for Nicholls, Sam Birrell, is inviting established, amateur, and aspiring photographers of all ages from across the region to capture the essence of our community to submit photos for the annual 2026 Places of Nicholls Calendar.

The 2026 edition will once again celebrate everything local, highlighting the people, places, and stories that make our region truly special.

“This calendar is a fantastic opportunity to shine a spotlight on our beautiful region,” said Mr Birrell. “It will feature photos taken by locals that showcase the people, products, places, characters, culture, and charm that define our electorate.

“Think local towns, streets, community groups, farms, weather events, letterboxes, pets, animals, dams, rivers, tourist spots, buildings, homes, sporting clubs – anything that reflects life in Nicholls.”

The top 12 photos, selected by Mr Birrell, will be featured in the calendar with full photo credit. The image chosen for the front cover will also receive a $200 gift voucher to a Goulburn Valley photography store of the winner’s choice.

Photos must: • Be in landscape orientation • Be in colour or black and white • Be titled or named • May be slightly edited • Can be taken on mobile phones.

Thousands of calendars will be printed and distributed via local newspapers in early December.

Entries can be submitted via email to sam.birrell. mp@aph.gov.au, or dropped off in person at Mr Birrell’s office at 426 Wyndham Street, Shepparton. Entries close Wednesday, October 29, 2025.

Friendly neighbourhood

By Aaron Cordy THERE is an idea that friendliness and knowing your neighbours is a thing of the past. The digital age and busier lives leave many people feeling less connected to those around them. But a recent study has revealed that Shepparton residents are some of the most neighbourly in the country.

The Real Neighbours Report 2025 was compiled based on research commissioned by Real Insurance and conducted by MYMAVINS between January 30 and February 14, 2025.

The survey found that the majority of Shepparton locals surveyed see themselves as good neighbours, with 91 per cent rating their own neighbourliness positively. Just 7 per cent don’t know their neighbours’ names, reflecting

a close-knit community where friendships are common, with 78 per cent having made friends next door.

Here are some highlights: • 91% rate themselves as good or excellent neighbours (national average 83%) • 78% have made friends with neighbours (national average 72%) • 80% say they’ve never had disagreements with neighbours (national average 68%) • 59% say neighbours are a big reason they like where they live (national average 47%) • 73% believe there’s an active neighbourhood watch, helping them feel safer.

The study showed that three-quarters of locals believed there is an active neighbourhood watch in their area, which 60 per cent say

makes them feel safer. Many residents happily lend power tools or groceries and report positive experiences when exchanging resources.

While no one thinks Shepparton is perfect, this survey and events like the October 2022 floods prove that Greater Shepparton has a strong community spirit.

Ten exam tips for VCE Students WITH school back next week, it is time for VCE to get studying as their final exams fast approach.

To help VCE students ace their exams, OneSchool Global Australian Director of Education, Paul Maher, has shared the top 10 tips that will help them make the most of their final weeks of study.

Practice Past Papers: “Completing past exams boosts memory, reveals gaps, and builds confidence under real conditions. It’s one of the most effective ways to prepare,” said Mr Maher.

Take Regular Breaks: “Think of breaks as pit stops – time to refuel your brain.

Make sure you eat nutritious meals or snacks and drink enough water!”

Target Your Weak Areas: “Focus more time on subjects or topics you struggle with.

This improves overall performance and gives the best return on effort.”

Use a Study Schedule: “Planned, spaced study reduces stress and improves long-term memory.”

Make Your Own Notes: “Creating notes helps you process and retain information better than buying pre-made ones. Active learning beats passive reading every time.”

Choose a Consistent Study Space: “A familiar environment helps your brain switch into focus mode. Occasionally changing locations can also boost recall through contextual cues.”

Use Retrieval Practice: “Instead of rereading, test yourself with flashcards, quizzes, or teaching others. This strengthens memory and understanding.”

Don’t Overstudy: “Studying 24/7 leads to fatigue and lower performance. Balance, sleep, and rest are essential for effective learning.”

Teach What You Learn: “Explaining concepts to someone else helps clarify your understanding.”

Create a Distraction-Free Environment: “A quiet, organised space improves focus and deep learning. Your environment signals your brain that it’s time to study.”

Call for real solutions to road safety concerns ROADS are deteriorating and Member for Shepparton District Kim O’Keeffe is calling for action after the State Government announced it would begin a $976M 'Regional Better Roads Blitz' – the sixth regional road blitz announcement in just five years, yet O’Keeffe said, “very little has been done.”

“Victorians don’t want another glossy announcement with empty promises; they want their roads fixed and repairs that last.

Spending almost a billion dollars on patchups is not a solution,” said O’Keeffe.

“Years of underinvestment and neglect have left drivers navigating potholes, cracked surfaces and unsafe roads, problems that could have been avoided if proper maintenance had been prioritised all along.

O'Keeffe said she has routinely called on the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, Melissa Horne, to repair roads in the Shepparton electorate as a matter of urgency.

“Just prior to this announcement, I sent the Minister a list of our most dangerous and neglected roads as well as photos so she can see the unbelievable extent of appalling and unsafe roads that we are dealing with,” she said.

“While the government claims 70 per cent of funding will go to regional areas, many communities remain sceptical.

Country drivers face dangerous conditions daily, and they’re tired of repeated promises that fail to deliver.

“The blitz does nothing to address systemic issues such as poor construction standards that see roads crumble after a short period of time, the mismanagement of funds that sees projects routinely over budget and behind schedule, or just a lack of transparency on how roads were prioritised and who really benefits,” said O’Keeffe.

Regional Australia Can’t Wait

Fill the Funding Gap

AFFORDABLE HOUSING... A new $50M social housing development is expected to get underway soon in Hoskin Street, Shepparton. Pictured at the site is Minister for Housing and Homelessness, Clare O’Neil, with members of CatholicCare, who is leading the development. Photo: Supplied.

Regional infrastructure is of critical importance to the people of Nicholls and I have been putting pressure on Regional Development Minister Catherine King to get some money into the Growing Regions Program.

This program, developed by Labor to replace the highly successful Coalition Government program called Building Better Regions, had one round of funding before it was dwindled to nothing and not allocated any new funds in the 2025 budget.

To improve the lives of people in regional areas, while also attracting people and skills we need better infrastructure, and the previous Coalition Government delivered this, with the Maude St Mall re-development, SAM, MOVE, Shepparton Rail Line Upgrade Stage Three and the Echuca-Moama Bridge being just some of many examples.

A key project now is the redevelopment of the Shepparton Sports Stadium, but we need money in the Growing Regions Program bucket to be able to do it.

Labor needs to understand the challenges and the opportunities in Regional Australia and get serious about development and funding, and we will keep raising this issue in Parliament and elsewhere until the bucket is filled.

Social housing investment for Snap to Win Entries open Shepparton for my 2026 A NEW $50M housing development in Shepparton will deliver 41 social homes for locals, with construction set to begin in coming months. The project is supported by the Federal Government’s Housing Australia Fund, alongside CatholicCare Victoria, which is leading the development.

Located on Hoskin Street, the one- and two-bedroom homes are close to shops and the Shepparton Train Station, giving residents vital access to jobs and services.

Housing Minister Clare O’Neil, who visited the site in September, said the project was part of the government's broader push to take on the housing crisis from, “every conceivable angle.”

“We’re building more homes right here in Shepparton so that more Australians have a place to call home and the ability to contribute to this wonderful community,” said Minister O’Neil.

Under the National Housing Accord, the Federal, State governments and industry have committed to an aspirational target of building 1.2M well-located homes over five years, including 55,000 social and affordable dwellings funded through investments like the Housing Australia Future Fund.

“As someone who grew up in regional Victoria, I know how important safe,

We’re building more homes right here in Shepparton so that more Australians have a place to call home and the ability to contribute to this wonderful community

Housing Minister Clare O’Neil affordable housing is for families,” said Victorian Senator Jana Stewart.

“These new homes in Shepparton will make a real difference for locals. Housing is one of the biggest pressures families face.

Projects like this show what happens when government partners with community organisations to deliver real solutions for all Australians.”

“ I NEVER THOUGHT I’D BE HOMELESS.” More people are now facing homelessness than ever before.

GSCC unveil new e-scooter signage as Victoria Police pledge to enforce the laws continued from front page

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MEETING Residents of Tatura, Murchison, Merrigum, Undera and surrounds are invited to a community engagement meeting hosted by Greater Shepparton City Councillor Rod Schubert and local Victoria Police on Tuesday, October 7, at Hill Top Golf and Country Club, at 7pm to 8.30pm.

The meeting will provide an opportunity for community members to ask questions and hear updates on key issues including crime prevention, family violence support, road safety, business and community security, and general Council activities within the region.

To help shape the agenda, residents can submit questions or topics via the Shaping Greater Shepp website.

Cr Schubert encouraged residents to come along and get an update on matters relating to their local area.

“This is a chance for locals to speak directly with police and council about what matters most to them,” he said.

“We want to hear from the community, provide them with an update on what is happening in the area and work together to address any concerns.”

24/7 Wireless Solar Site Protection

TO help combat concerns in the CBD of Shepparton, Mooroopna and Tatura main streets, Council has teamed up with Victoria Police to improve pedestrian and trader safety.

New signage and footpath decals have been installed to remind residents and visitors about the legal and safe use of e-scooters and other recreational vehicles.

Victoria Police will be leading the enforcement, with targeted taskforces monitoring the high pedestrian traffic areas to ensure the safe and correct usage of e-scooters. The enforcement will focus on pedestrian safety, ensuring e-scooters are not being used on footpaths.

“All Victoria Police members in the Greater Shepparton area are now authorised officers, and so that enforcement arm with the erection of this signage allows us to actually enforce those that are choosing to ride e-scooters in the Greater Shepparton area where the signage is erected,” said Shepparton Police Superintendent Brett Kahan.

Fines and confiscations are the tools for local police, but are they going to be enough to stop e-scooter riders terrorising locals, not only in the CBD and main streets, but all the streets of Greater Shepparton, where they have been known to be a menace?

Injuries are the biggest concern that comes with e-scooters. The injury rate from 2021-2023 was 562 (data from the Royal Melbourne Hospital (RMH) only). Of those, 383 were male, with a median age of 29.

Those numbers are expected to rise as the RACV is funding new research and awareness into the issue. The multi-centre project includes six sites, including the RMH, Ambulance Victoria, the Alfred Hospital, the Royal Children's Hospital, Grampians Health Ballarat and St Vincent's Hospital and is intended to develop a detailed understanding of the epidemiological factors of e-scooter riders and the influence of these factors on e-scooter injuries.

E-SCOOTER LAWS... E-Scooters have fast become a hazard to local foot traffic, so GSCC in conjunction with Victoria Police, are aiming to tackle the issue with new signage and footpath decals have been installed to remind residents and visitors about the legal and safe use of e-scooters and other recreational vehicles in the CBD of Shepparton and the main streets of Mooroopna and Tatura. From left, GSCC councillors Cr Fren Summer, Deputy Mayor Cr Anthony Brophy, Cr Rod Schubert, Mayor Cr Shane Sali, Victoria Police acting inspector Brad Fisher and Victoria Police Shepparton superintendent Brett Kahan. Photos: Aaron Cordy

The rules for e-scooters are clear.

E-scooter riders must: • Be aged 16 years and over • Not exceed 20 km/h • Ride only on roads that have a speed limit of 60km/h or less and on bike or shared paths • Always wear a helmet • Always have proper control and ride responsibly • Use a warning (e.g., bell, horn, or verbal) to avert danger • Follow traffic rules • Give way to pedestrians where appropriate Have front and rear lights if riding at night

E-scooter riders cannot: • Ride on the footpath • Use a hand-held mobile phone while riding • Ride while under the influence of drugs or alcohol • Carry passengers or animals • Lead an animal, including by tethering the animal to the e-scooter • Ride in tandem, two abreast • Ride a high-speed e-scooter – one capable of more than 25km/h • Ride on roads that have a speed limit over 60km/h .

Disability workshops launch locally GET Started Disability Support Australia is proud to announce the launch of its peer-led Disability Support Workshop Series in partnership with Greater Shepparton City Council.

This workshop series is a free, inclusive sixsession program designed to connect and support people with disabilities, carers, families, and their allies across the Greater Shepparton community.

“Learning how to live with a disability is incredibly daunting and we believe the best support comes from those who’ve lived it,” said Mandy McCracken, CEO of the charity Get Started Disability Support. “This series brings vital information, peer connection, and empowerment to local communities like Shepparton.”

The series covers practical knowledge, emotional support, and strategies to help participants confidently navigate funding and find locally based supports. The workshops aim to improve individuals’ connection to community,

build personal resilience, plan for emergencies, and create a support network for people new to disability within the Shepparton community.

Participants do not need to be eligible for National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) to join in.

Each workshop is facilitated by quadruple amputee Mandy McCracken. Co-designed by people with lived experience of disability and chronic health conditions, it creates a safe and supportive space where attendees learn, share stories, and find strength in connection.

Whether you're new to the NDIS, seeking community connection, or looking to strengthen your knowledge and self-advocacy skills, these workshops are a valuable opportunity to get informed and inspired.

The event will take place at Shepparton Uniting Church (134/140 Fryers Street, Shepparton), 11am to 1pm, starting Friday, October 17. Registration is free via www.getstarteddisability.org.au/register

FRESHLY baked bread is one of life's simple pleasures. Straight from the oven or left to cool for a couple of hours, it can be part of a delicious lunch, a snack, a side or the centre piece of a wonderful shared meal.

Bringing their passion for fresh bread and all things baked goods to Mooroopna, owners of Burkes Bakery in Euroa and Nagambie, Rob Beanham and Hannah Tuckett, have opened their third location on Mclennan Street, Mooroopna.

Taking over the location from North End Bakehouse and keeping the friendly staff, Burkes Bakery Mooroopna opened in August to the delight of locals who have tasted their

yummy baked goods.

Rob and Hannah worked together in Euroa when the opportunity to open Burkes Bakery came up. Their Nagambie location soon followed. Now they are excited to share their baked good with Mooroopna.

“It's a great community. Much like Euroa, it's very local, and they appreciate good quality products. They are desperate for good fresh bread, and that's what we specialise in,” said Rob. You can find Burkes Bakery, Mooroopna, at 52 McLennan Street, Mooroopna. They are open Monday to Friday, 6.30am to 4pm and Saturday from 7am to 2pm.

THE 2025 MITCHELTON AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL

Show & Shine

IS BACK

M A R K you r c a lend a r s for Su nd ay, October 5, when Euroa once again hosts one of Australia’s most loved car and bike shows. Since 2001, the Australian National Show & Shine has drawn thousands of visitors to the picturesque Kirkland Street banks of Seven Creeks, and this year promises to be bigger than ever.

Proudly presented by premium sponsor Mitchelton in strategic partnership with Strathbogie Shire Council, this year’s theme is Hollywood Heroes. Attendees are invited to dress as their favourite movie star, superhero, or iconic villain and join the always-popular fashion parade, with great prizes up for grabs.

On the ground, there’s something for everyone: a food court and picnic area,

kids’ amusements, community stalls, and live music from Willie and The Dixons.

Car enthusiasts can look forward to: • Elite Street, showcasing cars of the big and small screen, from a DMC DeLorean to eight Goggomobiles.

• Step Back in Time Street, celebrating the very best of retro and vintage vehicles.

• Dedicated displays of motorcycles, utes, tractors, and emergency vehicles.

• Prestige vehicles and past winners returning to impress.

Adding to the community spirit, Berry Street ’s E ducation First Youth Foyer volunteers will be helping with setup, management, and pack-down, helping to keep the event running smoothly.

Gates open at 9am. Entry is just $10 for

show vehicles (including driver), $5 for show bikes, $5 for the general public, and free for kids.

Don’t miss one of the region’s top motoring events on Sunday, October 5, Kirkland Avenue, Euroa.

For updates and info, email euroashowandshine@outlook.com, visit www.ansse.com.au, or find the event on Facebook.

TRADE TALK: GEELONG’S PRIORITY RECRUIT FOLLOWING GRAND FINAL HEARTBREAK SEN

SAM Edmund has provided an update on Geelong’s trade targets ahead of the trade period.

With the Cats falling short in Saturday’s Grand Final, their attention will now quickly turn to the trade space, which is set to be a busy time for them.

Currently, Geelong are in line to bring in Hawthorn’s James Worpel, who is a restricted free agent.

They are also in the hunt for St Kilda’s Rowan Marshall and Carlton’s Charlie Curnow, with Geelong reportedly having a preference for trying to sign the ruckman over the forward.

“They have met with him and I think they will prioritise him in the Trade Period,” Edmund said on SEN’s Crunch Time.

“They want to bring him in, all while St Kilda saying he’s going to be made to stay as he’s contracted.

“This will be a fascinating watch, as for Tom De Koning, aside from the money, clearly, the big part of the sell was how he, Marshall and Max King were going to work together.

“So, it would come as an immense shock for Tom De Koning if Rowan Marshall was to up and leave.

“Marshall hasn’t been thrilled with the club’s sort to go after Tom De Koning, was he brought into the tent on this offer enough and sold the role and how it was going to work? No. “So, he has had his head turned, the Cats want a ruckman, and they have met with Rowan Marshall.”

The two-time Coleman Medallist is also of interest to Geelong.

But Edmund admits it would be extremely hard to get both in the door at Kardinia Park, considering Curnow’s contract doesn’t finish until

2029.

He believes it is more likely the Blues forward to go to either Sydney or Gold Coast, who have more trade capital to please Carlton in a potential trade.

“And this is where Charlie Curnow is

so interesting because Charlie Curnow approached the Cats in May and said, ‘Would you have me?’ Edmund added.

“And he is very eager to get out of Carlton. We know Sydney is more likely to satisfy the Blues in a trade, Gold Coast would have him too, of

course, but Jed Walter doesn’t want to leave as it stands.

“So it’s difficult for Gold Coast with Sydney in the box seat there.

“But for the Cats, I struggle to see how they can possibly trade for Rowan Marshall and Charlie Curnow.

“Paying them can be done, I think Charlie is even willing to take a pay cut to get to Geelong.

“Trading for them, I can’t see how they get them both in.”

The Trade Period will not officially open until October 6.

Offer ends 7 October
