TRANSCRIPT: Council is putting the call out for Greater Shepparton residents to join the Positive Ageing Advisory Committee.
The committee, which meets 10 times per year, is looking for two new members, with spots also available for representatives aged 65 or older.
Nominations for the committee are open until 5.00pm on Friday the 22nd of February. --- If you pay rates in Greater Shepparton, don’t forget the third instalment of your council rates is due by Thursday the 28th of February.
Council offers various options for ratepayers to pay their rate accounts including online and in person. Check your rates notice for all the details.
If you have any difficulties paying your rates on time please make contact with the Rates team now so they can assist. --- Due to the high presence of flying foxes, Council has put up a fence within Cussen Park, in Tatura to protect the creatures from losing their habitat.
There are around 200 flying foxes which call the Tatura park home and it is important we don’t disturb their camp.
The northern loop track remains open, however Council advises residents to observe and follow the park signs. --- Don’t forget RiverConnect’s next Spotlight Walk is coming up on Wednesday the 13th of February. The free event runs from 8pm until 9.30pm and gives locals a chance to spy on some of Shepparton’s most interesting native animals.
To take part you must be aged 5 years or older, and keep in mind you might need a drink bottle and some comfortable clothing.
Booking are essential and they can be made by contacting RiverConnect
