An update from @gvhealth whose staff are doing an incredible job:

Due to staff shortages, our COVID-19 testing site on Graham Street will be closed Friday 7 January. For COVID-19 testing, please attend our testing site at Shepparton Showgrounds.

Our Shepparton Showgrounds testing site is located on High Street Shepparton (enter from Archer Street). Open 8.45am – 4.45pm.

For more information about testing site locations and open hours, visit http://www.gvhealth.org.au/covid-19-testing/

We understand the current testing limitations are frustrating, but our testing staff are working hard to get through a very high volume of tests as quickly as possible.

If you cannot access a PCR or Rapid Antigen test, and you’re a household or household-like contact, or have symptoms, the most important thing you can do is to stay home and isolate. For more information visit https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/managing-covid-19-home

I am extremely disappointed that Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has allowed Novak Djokovic a "special exemption" into the state to play the Australian Open.
Just last month, his deputy James Merlino said that such exemptions were "not a loophole for privileged tennis players".
It needs to be explained why he was given this exemption because I thought we were all in this together?

“Our numbers at the moment are showing where we should be in five years’ time.”
Not only is it fantastic to see visitation at the Museum of Vehicle Evolution and Shepparton Art Museum exceeding all expectations, the flow on benefits to other Goulburn Valley businesses is a major reason The Nationals in government collectively invested $17.5 million in these game-changing projects. #regionsmatter #improud

Just a reminder that my office closes at midday today.
I hope everyone has a great break, enjoying time with the family and friends.

The initial stage of the Murray River Adventure Trail – linking Yarrawonga to Burramine with a 13.5km cycling and walking trail – has been launched just in time for the summer holidays.
The $1.3 million project - jointly funded by the Federal Government and Moira Shire Council - has significantly improved walking and cycling infrastructure in the area and will help attract adventure-minded tourists, as well as benefitting local businesses.
It is also an important first stage in an ambitious goal to link Yarrawonga and Cobram. #improud #regionsmatter

I am thoroughly impressed with the redevelopment of Tungamah Recreation Reserve, which is being co-funded by the Federal Government and Moira Shire Council.
The $1 million project is just one of many that have been co-funded in the Moira Shire, with the extension of Numurkah Skate Park, installation of permanent outdoor gym at Nathalia parklands, and an upgrade of Picola Hall among the others. #improud #regionsmatter
