  • Heritage Open Day SATURDAY 28 OCTOBER Visit Your Heritage Free Welcome to the Greater Shepparton Heritage Open Day
    Greater Shepparton’s Heritage Open Day SATURDAY 28 OCTOBER Visit your heritage free Welcome to the Greater Shepparton Heritage Open Day. This free day has been organised by the Greater Shepparton Heritage Advisory Committee in conjunction with Council. It was inspired by ‘Open House Melbourne’ when hundreds of buildings (not only heritage places) are open. On the Greater Shepparton Heritage Open Day you can visit, FREE, over 40 places of heritage and historical significance in Greater Shepparton. Some have never been opened to the public before, and many are rarely on view. Other familiar places will come alive as you visit and hear their stories. Included are all the Museums and collections run by the historical societies: normally an entrance fee is charged. Greater Shepparton has an interesting history. Aboriginal peoples inhabited the area for thousands of generations. Europeans arrived in the mid nineteenth century, and developed a thriving agricultural economy, centred on the city of Shepparton, with many service towns. Subsequent settlement has gone on to welcome people from many corners of the world. This has resulted in a wealth of heritage places, a diverse and unique range of both buildings and sites. The Heritage Open Day will showcase many of these. There are three ways to visit our heritage place: • Many venues are opening their doors for visitors to attend independently • Bus tours • Walking tours Buses for the tours have been generously provided, free, by the Dyson Group. Printing of these booklets has been kindly donated by well-known local printers Prominent Group. The Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District has provided a bus tour to the mosques and temple in our municipality.

  • The Goulburn River - Natural Features and Changes Overtime
    The Goulburn River - natural features and changes overtime Wayne Tennant Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority, Shepparton VIC 3630, Australia, [email protected] Abstract Australian rivers are the most striking Spatial Nature feature on our landscape. They are home to an array of flora and fauna. The water they contain is vital for our community. Australian streams are unique (different from any others in the world) in terms of their morphology, sedimentology, their flora and fauna. The flow regimes of our inland rivers are amongst the most highly variable in the world and the ecosystems within had adapted to these extremes over extended periods of time. This paper presents a summary of the key Figure 1 – The Goulburn Catchment features of the Goulburn River and the changes which have occurred over recent The Goulburn River basin is Victoria’s largest, times.

  • Greater Shepparton Townships Framework Plan Review, 2018
    Greater Shepparton Townships Framework Plan Review, 2018 DRAFT GREATER SHEPPARTON TOWNSHIPS FRAMEWORK PLAN REVIEW, 2018 Introduction The Greater Shepparton Housing Strategy 2011 (the GSHS) was prepared by David Lock Associates Pty Ltd on behalf of Council to guide the future long term identification and provision of residential land within Greater Shepparton. The GSHS establishes a development framework in the Shepparton and Mooroopna urban areas, as well as the smaller townships within the municipality. The Greater Shepparton Townships Framework Plan Review (the Review) focuses on only the nine townships that the GSHS provided framework plans for, and excludes the Shepparton and Mooroopna urban areas. The purpose of this review is to complement and build upon the work undertaken through the GSHS to 2011, and to update the framework plans for each of the small townships within the municipality. The Review assesses each township against a number of criteria but, importantly, recognizes that each township is different and a “one size fits all approach” is not always appropriate. The townships have been assessed against the following criteria: . Current status and history; . Infrastructure and servicing availability; . Environmental influences; and . Population trends / supply and demand. The townships that are included in the Review are: . Congupna; . Dookie; . Katandra West; . Merrigum; . Murchison; . Tallygaroopna; . Tatura; . Toolamba and Old Toolamba; and . Undera. The location of these townships is shown in Figure 1 – Locality Map. 2 DRAFT GREATER SHEPPARTON TOWNSHIPS FRAMEWORK PLAN REVIEW, 2018 Figure 1 – Locality Map KATANDRA WEST TALLYGAROOPNA UNDERA CONGUPNA DOOKIE MERRIGUM TATURA TOOLAMBA & OLD TOOLAMBA MURCHISON 3 DRAFT GREATER SHEPPARTON TOWNSHIPS FRAMEWORK PLAN REVIEW, 2018 CONGUPNA Figure 2 – Congupna Aerial Map Figure 3 – Congupna Zone Map 4 DRAFT GREATER SHEPPARTON TOWNSHIPS FRAMEWORK PLAN REVIEW, 2018 Township Overview The township of Congupna is located approximately 10km north of Shepparton and has a population of 605 (2016 Census).
