The Legislative Assembly’s Environment and Planning Committee will meet with representatives from Greater Shepparton City Council, sustainability groups and community organisations to discuss regional responses to climate change.
The inquiry aims to identify what the government can do to help regional communities take action.
“We know that regional communities are often highly innovative and active when it comes to sustainability, waste management and recycling, agroforestry and renewable energy projects,” committee chair Darren Cheeseman said.
The Shepparton hearing, on Wednesday, is at the Mooroopna Education and Activity Centre, 23 Alexandra St, Mooroopna from 10.30 am until 1.15 pm.
The Committee will then visit the Violet Town Community Forest and meet with local sustainability groups at the Violet Town Community Complex.
The committee is also hosting a meeting in Wangaratta on Thursday.
