SEVERIN Duhring, a passionate volunteer and Mooroopna resident for 54 years, is running for the Goulburn River Ward in the Greater Shepparton Local Government Elections. With a strong commitment to ensuring the needs of his community are heard, Duhring believes the new ward system will provide a fairer distribution of the council’s budget, addressing the imbalance that currently favours Shepparton over smaller towns.
“I want my region to thrive and progress,” said Duhring. “The current model is very Shepparton-centric, and the smaller towns are often left out and feel like the poor cousins.”
A tireless advocate for Mooroopna, Duhring has served on numerous committees and community groups, including the Mooroopna Community Plan Steering Committee, Mooroopna Kiwanis Australia Day Committee, and Greater Shepparton City Council Australia Day Committee. His 35 years with Mooroopna Kiwanis Club, his involvement with the L2P program, and his 2015 Greater Shepparton Volunteer of the Year Award highlight his dedication to the community.
Duhring has also been deeply involved with local organisations like Mooroopna Football Club, KidsTown, Mooroopna Tennis Club, Rumbalara and more.
If elected, he would like to see ratepayers receive two tip tickets each year to assist them to remove waste unable to be disposed of in kerbside bins.
With a long history of community involvement and a proven track record, Duhring is ready to bring his commitment to represent the Goulburn River Ward. “I am semi-retired, so I have time to commit to the residents of my ward,” he added.
Severin Duhring stands as a strong, dedicated voice for the people of Goulburn River Ward, ready to ensure their concerns are heard and their needs met.
