TATURA ROTARY CHANGEOVER NIGHT
Changeover night for the leadership of Tatura Rotary took place June 26, 2024. President John John held the position 2023-2024, with incoming president John Matea to take over the role 2024-2025. Some highlights from Tatura Rotary were the outdoor exercise equipment project completed. Rotary led a huge effort by the local community to raise over $70,000 to install outdoor exercise equipment between the scout hall and the Italian Social Club. Tatura Community Art Show was another success in terms of interest and funds raised for charity with 370 entries this year. The introduction of the Container Deposit Scheme has raised a lot of money while recycling thousands of cans and bottles, plus Tatura Rotary was able to provide financial assistance ($1,000) for a first-year tertiary student from Tatura, and assist two international exchange students.
PARK CLOSURE EXTENDED
Furphy Park on MacIntosh Street has been temporarily closed since June 17 for maintenance work. The park’s closure has been extended to July 12 due to increased maintenance required. Works include removing the current playground fence and equipment and installing new, upgraded facilities. Furphy Park is currently fenced off, with gates locked to ensure public safety. For further information, please contact Greater Shepparton City Council on 5832 9700.
HAWDON STREET ROADWORKS
Works to rectify the surface of the northbound lanes on Hawdon Street, outside Greater Shepparton Secondary College, are underway this week. Lane closures are in place in both directions between 7am and 7pm. Motorists should allow for extra travel time, while families at the college can rejoice because it is school holidays.
NEW WALKING TRACK
A new walking and cycling path was unveiled recently in Mooroopna. The Broad Way, which has lighting and safety fencing, connects Mooroopna Station and the existing footpath along Young Street. The upgrade is part of the Stage 3 of the Shepparton Rail Upgrade.
GOING, GOING, GONE
A building on the corner of Rowe Street and Maude Street has been demolished. Did you notice that the building, and the stunning murals pictured on its exterior, had vanished?
