The Greater Shepparton Environmental Sustainability Strategy has been listed as an agenda item at next week’s meeting of council.

Many Beneath the Wisteria supporters/members have had an active role in the development of the Strategy and council’s Environmental and Sustainability officer, Travis Turner, has invited them to attend.

In urging Beneath the Wisteria members to attend the meeting, Travis said: “They may be interested in coming along to the council meeting to listen to what the councillors have to say about the Strategy, its contents and whether or not they vote to adopt the Strategy”.

The meeting, which is open to the public, starts at 5:30pm on Tuesday, July 15, in the council boardroom, Welsford St Offices and last for about an hour.

“An action in the strategy,” Travis said, “is to form an Environmental Sustainability Advisory Committee and so I invite BtW supporters to consider becoming a community representative on the committee.

“There will be an official period when community members can submit an Expression on Interest form in the coming weeks,” he said.
