Another strong day at South City collecting signatures for the Gobba Bridge petition!

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped for a chat yesterday and added their name. The conversations showed just how much our community values a better connection to the expanding northern suburbs and beyond.

Pictured: Dr Joe McGirr MP and Committee 4 Wagga’s Brad Campbell, who spent the morning speaking with locals about creating a river crossing that better serves our community now and into the future.

Wagga is stepping up. Every signature adds real weight to the push for action 🤝

As a proud Committee 4 Wagga member, Rehman Sheriff Group is helping Riverina businesses tackle one of our biggest challenges – the regional skills shortage.

With local fill rates sitting at just 64.3%, employers across construction, health, aged care, hospitality, and agriculture are feeling the strain. RSG has stepped up with a clear, practical guide outlining the skilled migration pathways designed specifically for regional employers, from the Orana DAMA to Skills in Demand visa and permanent sponsorship options.

If your business is finding it hard to hire, this guide is genuinely worth your time. It brings clarity to a complex space and gives employers practical pathways to secure the skilled talent needed to keep the Riverina growing 📈
