ANTHONY Brophy believes Greater Shepparton has a lot of potential that needs attention, which is why he is again running in the upcoming council election for the Kialla Ward.
“After my first term as Councillor and with a number of things achieved, I believe that I am the right person to represent Kialla Ward under the new ward structure,” said Cr Anthony.
“There is much that needs attention in Greater Shepparton, and I have the experience, the leadership and vision for what is needed not only in Kialla but across Greater Shepparton. I am a good listener and take on board what the community priorities are against the budget of a council.”
Serving on council for the last four years has given Anthony valuable insight into the key priorities of Greater Shepparton. One of the main concerns is land availability, whether it’s for residents who are owning or renting, or for commercial and industrial purposes.
Water security is essential to ensure we have a productive agricultural and horticultural sustainability, that flows on to service retention within our communities.
Anthony also highlighted the need for transport improvements, be that road upgrades for locals or transport operators, public buses matching the community needs and a train service to Melbourne that is more frequent and faster.
“I bring to the role experience in local government having been a Councillor the last four years and deputy mayor for two of those. From my extensive experience working for two Federal Members of Parliament and one Senator, skills from facilitating the Fairley Leadership Program, compassion and understanding from over a decade of being a well-being officer across a number of schools in the region and commercial acumen from employment in retail and public organisations. My community involvement includes being president or chair of several sporting boards and associations as well as educational providers.”
