City of Greater Shepparton Mayor Shane Sali welcomed seeing money being distributed back into the community.

“We are always pleased to deliver grants and funding to community groups and organisations that need a helping hand to achieve their goals, whether that be through hosting an event, purchasing upgraded equipment, improving access for the community, or running workshops and training programs,” he said.

“We understand how important this grant funding can be, and we look forward to seeing these successful applicants put the funding to good use.”
