Greater Shepparton City Council is seeking nominations from individuals interested in joining the Calder Woodburn Memorial Avenue Advisory Committee as one of five community representatives.

The Memorial Avenue consists of more than 2,400 trees over a length of nearly 20 kilometres along the Goulburn Valley Highway. The Memorial Avenue was planted between 1945 and 1949 as a living memorial to all local servicemen who did not return from the Second World War. The Memorial Avenue is the grandest and largest of the Second World War commemorative plantings in Victoria, and is important for its use of only Australian native trees. The Calder Woodburn Memorial Avenue Conservation Management Plan 2001 guides all works within the Memorial Avenue.

In recent years, some sections of the Memorial Avenue have suffered from loss of trees, significant regrowth of native and non-native vegetation, and the spread of weed species.

Council formed the Advisory Committee in 2017 to investigate further ways of maintaining, enhancing, and conserving the cultural heritage and environmental values of the Memorial Avenue. The Committee is also tasked with investigating possible funding opportunities for conservation works.

The community representative positions are voting members of the Advisory Committee and are appointed for a four-year term. The Advisory Committee also includes representatives from seven stakeholder organisations and Council.

Those with an interest in the Memorial Avenue are encouraged to apply. Advisory Committee meeting schedules vary but are likely to range from one to four meetings per year. The appointments will commence later in 2025 and end in late 2029.

Nomination forms can be lodged electronically or by hard copy and are available on Council’s website www.greatershepparton.com.au or in the foyer of Greater Shepparton City Council’s offices at 90 Welsford Street, Shepparton.

Nominations close at 5.00pm on Monday, 21 July 2025.

For more information or to register your interest in joining the Advisory Committee, please contact Jen Brewis, Team Leader Strategic Planning, via telephone on 03 5832 9730 or via e-mail at council@shepparton.vic.gov.au
