This week it was announced that Shepparton would be getting its own Monopoly board and the company responsible for it, Hasbro’s Winning Moves, is looking for feedback from community members on what they think should be featured on it.

The News asked its followers on Facebook what areas of Shepparton they thought should be included.

Some of the top answers included KidsTown, SPC and the Museum of Vehicle Evolution, with Centrelink showing itself as a surprising contender in the top six suggestions.

However, the top suggested location was the Shepparton Telstra Tower that hovers over Maude St Mall.
