Everything a new arrival actually asks in the first month, answered from the 50 businesses, clubs and places we list here. No sponsored entries, nothing paid for.
First, the thing people get wrong
Shepparton is the largest city in the Goulburn Valley and the centre of the fruit and dairy industry, with SPC, Campbells and several large milk processors inside the city limits. Maude Street runs through the retail centre and the painted Moooving Art cows are scattered around town. Roughly one in five residents was born overseas, and the city has long standing Iraqi, Afghan, Albanian and Congolese communities.
Shepparton is in Victoria, postcode 3630, and 4 of the towns people here use day to day are in New South Wales. That is why this matters more in Shepparton than it does most places: the state a job is done in decides which trade licence applies, which public holiday calendar sets the penalty rate, and which regulator hears a complaint.
If you are hiring anyone, the border check tells you which state's rules apply to an address, and the licence check opens the right register.
The shape of the place
