With the Greater Shepparton Basketball Tournament being held this weekend our community has an opportunity to shine some light on the dire need to upgrade the Shepparton Stadium sporting and event facilities for the benefit of all those in the Greater Shepparton area.
Improving and upgrading the Shepparton Stadium will have community wide benefits by providing everyone within our region:
* with a safe and inclusive location for a multitude of sports (think basketball, indoor netball, badminton, soccer, volleyball etc);
* developing facilities to support and promote all ability and cultural participation (turn your mind to the current lack of accessibility of the current stadium facilities for participating in and spectating for sports and events); and
* a community hub for not only sporting events, but a place to host music and the arts or provide safety or a meeting spot in the event of a community impacting incident (eg the floods).
Hopefully the community of Greater Shepparton can rally via this petition, social media and by generally making some noise to see local and state governments work together to invest in the health and well-being of our community and commit to making the Shepparton Stadium and sports precinct an inclusive and safe place for all those who love their community.
