AS part of the Shepparton Master Plan, the former Word and Mouth building in the southwest corner of Queens Gardens has been demolished by Greater Shepparton City Council as part of the Master Plan development progression. The Master Plan was developed in 2010 after consultation with a number of user groups and was updated in 2015 to correlate with the next phase of works. The removal of the building will allow for extension of the pathway and pergola connecting Wyndham Street to Welsford Street along the southern boundary.

The building was once used as a site for maternal health checks.

“Works have occurred over the years at the Queens Gardens with the guidance of the Master Plan. These works will enable the space to be more open and user friendly. We ask residents to please be mindful of the works,” said Greater Shepparton city council director infrastructure Gary Randhawa.
