Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe, said she was pleased to see the region’s business industry growing.
“We all want Greater Shepparton to prosper, and for that to happen we need successful businesses to help build a strong economy, create additional jobs and bring visitors to our region,” she said.
“We thank both the Shepparton Brewery and Melrose Pty Ltd for applying for a grant and encourage other potential new businesses in our region to do the same.”
