From Friday 20 December 2024 until Friday 31 January 2025, locals and visitors are invited to experience some of the home grown activities available in Shepparton and Goulburn Valley and enjoy special promotions and events at local venues.

The ‘Summer Super Pass’ is a seasonal activity aimed to encourage community members and visitors to enjoy multiple local experiences and engage with businesses through special deals and promotions.

Through an EOI callout, local businesses and service providers were able to partner with Shepp & GV for this activation by offering special promotions to be featured in a flyer card to be distributed across Greater Shepparton.

The ‘Home for the Holidays’ activation is the perfect opportunity for businesses to promote themselves and connect with visitors and community members, by showcasing their products and services through this marketing campaign.

Each time residents and visitors enjoy a ‘Summer Super Pass’ activity, they will earn a sticker. Once three stickers are collected, they can enter the draw to win a $100 voucher from participating businesses with a winner drawn each week of the school holidays.

Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, said Council was looking forward to seeing people get behind the activation and experience the wonderful things Greater Shepparton has to offer.

“We invite local residents staying ‘Home for the Holidays’ especially those hosting family and friends, to take advantage of the Summer Super Pass, and enjoy the great experiences available in the region,” he said. “You don’t have to travel far to find great food, wonderful experiences and enjoy fun family activities. These types of activations are a wonderful opportunity to encourage people to shop local, activate the economy and discover new things to do in their own community.”

Council encourages residents staying home for the school holidays to invite friends and relatives to visit and explore Shepparton and Goulburn Valley.

The Summer Super Pass will be distributed as an insert in The Adviser on Wednesday 18 December, as well as being available at participating businesses, at the Greater Shepparton Visitor Centre located at Shepparton Art Museum precinct 530 Wyndham Street Shepparton, and at Council’s offices in 90 Welsford Street, Shepparton.
