Steve ‘Trelly’ Threlfall is a local businessman with family ties that stretch back 100 years and would like to see some common sense on the Council, which is why he is running in the upcoming election for the McEwen Ward.
“Common sense, common sense and more common sense! Get back to the basics of delivering services and advancing economic health to the region,” said Steve on why he decided to run for Council.
“Common sense is not that common at the Council table. Woke agendas and a cancel culture is dividing people, not uniting them. I see it and am constantly being reminded of it by Greater Shepparton residents. Just look at what council is dealing with right now, Gaza, is not a council issue.”
Steve has been an active member of the community sponsoring hundreds of school, sporting and recreational events over his 35 years of business in Shepparton. He sits on boards and committees that protect, advance and embrace bushlands and wildlife. He sees our local waterways as one of the most important issues facing Greater Shepparton, which needs to embrace, showcase and protect its rivers, creeks and wetlands.
“Our whole region’s economic wellbeing is linked to water, without water you’ll see tumbleweeds rolling down Wyndham Street.
“We have beautiful housing estates, retirement living, a golf course, GOTAFE education, the driver training complex and the sports precinct which has the potential to deliver a $70M economic impact across the region.
“We need to incentivise investors, not wrap them in Council red tape, dated processes and endless hurdles.”
