Be sure to grab a copy of today’s Shepp News, which contains my 2021 #ImProud calendar. The calendar, which again showcases varying aspects of the Goulburn Valley, will also be available in this week’s edition of the Country News. The cover image was taken by Heather Radevski.

From January 1 next year until March 31, the Federal Government's HomeBuilder scheme will continue to drive confidence and demand in the construction sector. The extension will maintain momentum from the current scheme, secure jobs and the construction pipeline through to the first half 2022.
For all new build contracts signed during the three-month extension period, eligible owner-occupier purchasers will receive a $15,000 HomeBuilder grant, while the property price caps for new builds in New South Wales and Victoria will be increased to $950,000 and $850,000 respectively. Last week, I visited Justin Marshall of Solar City Eco Homes at the site of a renovation in Tatura where a HomeBuilder grant triggered the works.

It was an absolute honour to play a small part in making the Cobram Community Centre a reality. But if it wasn’t for Rob Morey, his committee, and the youth of Cobram, today’s cinema opening would have remained just a distant dream. Read more about the project on my website. #ImProud

National Agriculture Day is being celebrated today

National Agriculture Day is being celebrated today. A huge thank you to everyone involved in this incredibly important sector, particularly those in the Nicholls electorate.
The Federal Government remains committed to advancing agriculture in Australia and reinforcing its significance on the world stage. Our Ag2030 plan sets out the Government's current actions to support the agricultural sector's ambitious goal of growing to a $100 billion industry by 2030. #regionsmatter #improud

It was great to visit the Gargarro Botanic Gardens

It was great to visit the Gargarro Botanic Gardens site recently, where I got an update from Doc McDonald and Bernie Ryan. The Federal Government, via the Stronger Regional Communities Program, is providing almost $10,000 for the amphitheatre's lighting. The Gargarro Botanic Gardens will see the creation of a unique and world class botanical installation. I encourage you to take a look at the impressive fly-through on the GBG’s website. #regionsmatter #improud

IMPORTANT UPDATE for our veteran community: the Federal Government has rejected the recommended changes to eligibility for the Veteran Gold Card made by the Productivity Commission. The proposed changes were not in the best interests of veterans and their families. This decision provides clarity and assurance for the future of their benefits. I hope this puts minds at ease relating to this important issue.

Great to see the Goulburn Valley feature so prominently in News Corp’s ‘Rediscover Victoria’ insert that promotes regional experiences. #ImProud #regionsmatter
