Welcome to the Greater Shepparton Business Network (GSBN) – where businesses come together to support one another, champion local enterprise, and strengthen the economic fabric of our region.
GSBN was founded with a clear purpose: to create a structured, inclusive, and forward-thinking organisation that brings together the diverse business community of Greater Shepparton. Our mission is to provide a consistent platform for businesses of all sizes and sectors to connect, stay informed, and be heard on the issues that shape our local economy.
GSBN proudly represents businesses across a wide and vibrant region – including Shepparton, Mooroopna, Tatura, Murchison, Dookie and surrounding towns. This reach enables us to foster connections between communities, ensuring every member has a place and a voice within our network.
A key pillar of GSBN’s work is our role in local government advocacy. We actively engage with Greater Shepparton City Council and other local authorities to ensure the business community’s perspectives are represented in key decisions that affect economic growth, planning, infrastructure, and the overall business environment.
At the heart of GSBN is a belief in the power of genuine connection. Our monthly Networking Events offer a relaxed and welcoming space where members can engage with peers, exchange ideas, and build meaningful relationships. These events continue to grow in popularity and impact, serving as a vital touchpoint for business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals who want to stay connected and collaborate within our thriving region.
Our commitment to being a member-driven organisation sets us apart. We actively listen to the needs of our members and strive to deliver real value through support, representation, and advocacy. Through our proud partnership with the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), GSBN also connects local businesses to broader opportunities, resources, and representation at the state level – ensuring our members have a strong voice beyond the region.
Whether you’re launching a new venture, leading a well-established enterprise, or simply seeking to build your local network, GSBN is here to support your journey. Together, we are building a more connected, resilient, and prosperous Greater Shepparton
