Be the heart of your community – Join a Community Asset Committee

Community Asset Committees oversee public halls, community centres and recreation reserves on behalf of Council, helping to ensure these spaces remain safe, welcoming, and well-used by the community.

Committee members take on a variety of responsibilities including keeping facilities clean and functional, managing bookings and access, monitoring budgets and records, and reporting to Council. Volunteer roles include Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer and general members, with each position playing an important part in the committee’s success.

There are currently 17 Community Asset Committees across Greater Shepparton, each contributing to the strength and pride of the local community.

Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, encouraged residents to get involved.

“Community Asset Committees are at the heart of our neighbourhoods, they keep our halls, centres and reserves active, vibrant and accessible for everyone to enjoy,” he said.

“By volunteering, you will not only help look after valued community spaces, but you will also gain new skills, meet people and make a real difference in your community.”

An upcoming information session will be on Tuesday 30 September 2025 from 5pm to 6pm at the Council Offices in Welsford Street, Shepparton for anyone interested in learning more about joining a Community Asset Committee.
