Funding extended for Greater Shepparton Heritage Interpretive Signage Program

Interpretative signage is an effective way to celebrate Greater Shepparton’s historical and cultural environment, which the funding aims to achieve while also raising public awareness and promoting understanding of these places in Greater Shepparton.

For a proposal to be eligible for funding, the proposed signage must relate to a place or object within Greater Shepparton and be within the Heritage Overlay of the Greater Shepparton Planning Scheme or listed as a place of significance on the Victorian Heritage Register.

Mayor Shane Sali encouraged community groups and local organisations to consider applying.

“Installing signage increases both the community and visitors’ sense of awareness and knowledge of the culture and history of the place,” he said.

“Signage can play an important role in preserving these places and involving future generations in its history.”
