The team will be joined by service providers, including representatives from the Goulburn Flood Recovery Service, Wellways, Each Wellbeing, Arc Justice and Windermere, to ensure tailored service information is available to residents.

Community members are encouraged to visit the team on the days they are at each of the community houses to have a chat, be linked in with flood recovery services, receive appropriate resources and information, and provide feedback on how they can be better supported.

Resilience in Recovery will be spending time each month at Murchison Neighbourhood House, North Shepparton Community and Learning centre, South Shepparton Community Centre, and Mooroopna Education and Activity Centre, with the team onsite from 9am to 3pm. Residents are welcome to drop in at any time between these hours.

Resilience in Recovery was established to support the community’s recovery following the October 2022 flood event, with the program providing a range of inclusive events to create greater resilience and encourage the community to become more connected.

Council’s Manager Flood Recovery, Carla Dixon, said the team was looking forward to working at each of the community houses over the coming months as a way to meet residents and have face-to-face conversations.

“The Flood Recovery team are continually seeking feedback and input from flood impacted community’s to help shape the Greater Shepparton recovery program, so being available to residents in their towns is important,” she said.

“We encourage anyone who was flood impacted to pop in and visit the team at the neighbourhood houses.”

Goulburn Flood Recovery Service, Manager Flood Recovery and Family Violence, Amy Jones, said the town visits were a great opportunity for impacted residents to meet and engage with relevant services.

“Our goal is to provide outreach and relief support to those who were impacted by the recent floods. By attending local community and neighbourhood houses, it provides us with an opportunity to engage with people in person, have meaningful conversations and make sure they are aware of the services available to them,” she said.
