Press Release The Murray City of Murray Bridge Mayor, Allan Arbon, was excited to announce today that the organisers of the SpringNat Car Show have selected Murray Bridge as their venue of choice to hold their summer event at Sturt Reserve during the Australia Day 2007 long weekend to be known as the Murray Bridge Auto Fest. Murray Bridge, Tuesday 12th September 2006: The promoters have a very successful format which attracts over 50,000 people to a similar event held in Shepparton, Victoria, with another successful event at Albury Wodonga. In preliminary talks, it was stressed to Mayor Arbon that the SpringNat event is �alcohol free� and the target audience is families. Close co-operation with the local Victorian Police has ensured that the Shepparton event attracts a well-behaved crowd. The award-winning Sturt Reserve offers an ideal location with its unique, ready-made track and show area. The external fencing and other infrastructure requirements have already been purchased by Council to stage the annual Australian International Pedal Prix event. Mayor Arbon briefed Council at last night�s Council meeting held at the Monarto War Memorial Hall regarding the plan. Council staff, along with Elected Members, will now undertake a comprehensive review of the proposed Murray Bridge Auto Fest prior to committing to a long term agreement. However, preliminary discussions with the Mayor of Shepparton, Cr Jenny Houlihan, and the local Shepparton Police have indicated that the local community has nothing but praise for the way the event is conducted. Indicative reports show that the economic benefit wielded by the SpringNat Car Show to Shepparton is in the realm of $14 million. To the uninitiated, the event is a display of high performance cars as well as controlled burn outs and demonstrations of horsepower.
