The office was officially opened on Saturday, October 24 and Ms Costa was joined by supporters, including former independent Member for Shepparton Suzanna Sheed.
Ms Costa’s campaign team is styling the office as a safe place for community to connect.
Ms Sheed spoke at the event, which happened less than a week after the alleged deliberate vehicle attack on federal independent Member for Indi Helen Haines.
She praised Ms Costa for her positive approach in the context of increasing division.
“Lou is talking about a story of communities being together,” Ms Sheed said.
“And when things go bad, it’s community coming together that will save us all, really.”
Ms Costa said that independents could work effectively with the government of the day and listen to communities.
“I am not about making big announcements just weeks before an election to buy your vote,” Ms Costa said.
“This community needs more than money.
“It needs an empathetic leader who can bring us all together to face the challenging times ahead.”
Lou Costa’s campaign office is located at 201 Maude St in Shepparton.
