Cr Greg James

I’m a very proud Yorta Yorta man, born in Mooroopna and have lived in the Goulburn Valley most of my life. I am a father of two wonderful children.

I attended school in Shepparton and then Melbourne University with two degrees in Education.

I hold a position as a representative of various Boards and I am an active member within the community, community sport and an Aboriginal artist in a number of mediums.

I was elected to the Greater Shepparton City Council in 2020 - the first indigenous person elected as Councillor.

I am looking forward to the opportunity to become an effective and informed councillor who can act as a positive role model for all of the Aboriginal community and create a positive pathway for our future young Indigenous leaders.

I look forward to the various challenges that will be presented to Council by our broader community and the opportunity to delve into the needs of those in our Greater Shepparton region, being able to lead our community positively and proactively in future projects and developments.
