Greater Shepparton City Council is inviting local community groups and not-for-profit organisations to take part in this year’s Christmas Community Gift Wrapping service.
In Summary
The service will operate from a pop-up space in City Central Shepparton from Thursday 4 December to Wednesday 24 December 2025. Groups are asked to provide at least one volunteer each day to wrap gifts from 10am to 4pm for one week. All wrapping materials will be supplied by Council.

Shoppers visiting the CBD will also be able to take advantage of complimentary parking during the Christmas period, running from 1 December 2025 to 31 January 2026.
Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, encouraged community groups to take part.
“This is a great opportunity for local groups to raise funds and help bring festive spirit to our community,” he said.
Council’s Place Manager, Bonnie McIntosh, said the program continues to be a positive opportunity for groups to connect with the community.
“We see wonderful support from shoppers each year and it makes a real difference to local groups,” she said.
“It is easy to take part. All materials are supplied and the funds raised go straight back to the volunteers’ own organisations.”
Applications close Friday 28 November 2025, with applicants notified of the outcome on Monday 1 December 2025.
