Issues of sustainable urban development will be discussed at Tatura on Wednesday night.



The Director of the Melbourne-based Urban Initiatives, Bruce Echberg, will speak at a meeting of Tatura Transitions.

Mr Echberg has a broad knowledge of life in the Goulburn Valley, owning a former bank building in Nathalia and having been intimately involved with many Tatura and Shepparton projects.

His company played a key role in the design and creation of Shepparton’s Maude St Mall, the refurbished of Victoria Park Lake, design for the Goulburn River pedestrian bridge, Shepparton showground’s redevelopment, the city’s war memorial, Tatura’s Lake Bartlett, Merrigum Park and two significant projects in Toolamba.

Wednesday’s 7:30pm meeting is open to the public and Tatura Transition’s Ross Musolino has encouraged people to attend to hear Mr Echberg, who is one of Victoria’s most respected architects, discuss how he sees the town evolving.

Mr Musolino said: “As an Architect, Landscape Architect and Urban Designer, Bruce is well versed to discuss urban design policy, sign systems and development of streets, open spaces and many forms of civic and public spaces, as well as sustainable urban development and water sensitive urban design.”

The Wednesday, June 13, meeting will be held at the Tatura Community House, which can be accessed through the Kerford St car park.
