Applications are now open for the LGBTIQA+ Advisory Committee at Greater Shepparton City Council, with community members, organisations and allies invited to join.
The Committee, which began in 2021, guides Council on LGBTIQA+ community matters and helps implement the Council's LGBTIQA+ Action Plan.
Since its formation, the committee has delivered several initiatives including the Pride flag installation, the Ruby Cow artwork, and town entry flags.
“Council has a range of advisory committees to provide the community with an opportunity to share advice, suggestions and feedback on topics they are passionate about. I encourage residents to put their hand up to join a committee as it is a great opportunity to have your voice heard and help strengthen the region,” City of Greater Shepparton Mayor Shane Sali, said.
“This Committee provides a platform to make sure LGBTIQA+ voices and perspectives are heard and respected,“ the committee chair, Councillor Sam Spinks said.
The council welcomes applications from local LGBTIQA+ organisations, individuals who identify as LGBTIQA+ with strong community connections and LGBTIQA+ allies.
Those interested can submit their expressions of interest at https://shepp.city/pridecom by 11.59pm on Wednesday, September 17, 2025.
