Installation of the Greater Shepparton festive decorations is scheduled to commence this week, starting with the Season’s Greetings banners on the Eastbank building.
It is anticipated that all decorations located in the Shepparton Central Business District will be installed by the end of next week (weather permitting). Some of this year’s decorations include a giant ‘selfie’ Santa, the large PEACE sign at Aquamoves, large LED stars, the Merry Moos, ground decals, bin decals, seat wraps, town entry flags, banners, and a giant Christmas Tree.
Next week, decorations will be placed in Murchison, Tatura and Mooroopna at locations selected in consultation with the community.
The full suite of Council Christmas decorations will be installed by the first week of December.
The decommissioning of Christmas decorations will occur from 2 January 2018.
