Shepparton was created in 1945, abolished in 1955 and re-created in 1967. The Goulburn Valley is one of the richest agricuktural areas in Australia, and has been dominated by the Country Partty / Nationals since the 1920s. Two party leaders, John McDonald and Peter Ross-Edwards, have held the seat. So it was a shock to the Nationals when they lost Shepparton to an independent in 2014, and didn't win in back until 2022. Recent members: Peter Ross-Edwards (Country / Nationals) 1967-91, Don Kilgour 1991-2002 (Nationals), Jeanette Powell (Nationals) 2002-14, Suzanna Sheed (Independent) 2014-22, Kim O'Keeffe (Nationals) since 2022.
