Council resolved to advocate to the Australian Government for a change of date for Australia’s national holiday, and to continue community engagement to inform a Council decision about Council’s role on 26 January in 2024 and beyond.

Council also resolved to conduct community engagement on the idea of having a day of community celebration that is not held on 26 January, is inclusive, reflects the full history of Australia, and is culturally respectful.

These decisions were informed by engagement with a community stakeholder group representing diverse community interests.

Council is inviting community members to share their views about the way forward for 2024 and beyond.

The feedback received will be reviewed alongside the information gathered in 2022, and a proposal will be developed for the future of Council’s role on 26 January in Greater Shepparton.

To share your feedback, please visit the Shaping Greater Shepp website.

Hardcopy surveys are also available for residents to fill out at the Council Offices at 90 Welsford Street, Shepparton. Feedback can be provided until 5pm on Friday 26 May 2023.

For further information or assistance with completing the survey, phone Council on (03) 5832 9700.
