Nominations wanted for Sports Hall of Fame Advisory Committee

The committee will be responsible for investigating the concept of a sports hall of fame and advising Council of their findings.

The committee will be made up of up to 11 members for a two year term, including a representative from ValleySport, a potential sponsor, an independent representative advocating on behalf of non-mainstream sports and sports people, three Council representatives and up to four community members.

Greater Shepparton Mayor Dennis Patterson encouraged anyone with a passion for maintaining the history of sport and recreation in our region to apply for a spot on the committee.

“Setting up the committee is the first step in developing a sports hall of fame in Greater Shepparton. The committee will be responsible for researching similar facilities in other regions and making recommendations to Council including how a hall of fame may look here,” Cr Patterson said.

“We have so many fantastic sportspeople and sporting administrators so it is important we recognise their contributions and achievements.

“If you are keen to be a part of this important project for our region, then have a look at the website for more information.”

Nominations for appointment to the committee are open until 31 July. Nomination forms and information is available from Council’s website greatershepparton.com.au
