PLEASE be aware that Greater Shepparton City Council’s offices and customer service phone line are closed, as all available Council resources are presently being directed at flood management. The most up-to-date information can be found online. To assist during this time, Council has provided the following information:
Emergency Relief Centres and sandbags
- McIntosh Centre, Shepparton Showgrounds – pets, caravans, campervans, trailers and tents all accepted
- Deakin Reserve, Shepparton – no pets can be catered for. Tents allowed on the oval but no access for caravans, campervans or trailers
- Ballantyne Centre, Tatura – pets, caravans, campervans, trailers and tents all accepted
- Victory Hall, Tatura – unable to accommodate pets. Please bring a mattress, sheets, blankets, pillows and additional food supplies if you have them.
At the time of writing (October 19, 2022), local Sandbagging operations temporarily closed to urgently assist communities further north around Echuca, Tongala, and Kyabram. These resources will be returned as soon as it is possible.
Kerbside collection, Resource Recovery Centres / Cosgrove Landfill
Kerbside collection is impacted due to flooded streets and driver availability. Council cannot confirm when and where collection will recommence. Residents should place their kerbside bins on the kerb ready for collection if safe to do so.
All RRCs and Cosgrove Landfill are closed for waste disposal due to localised road closures, access to the facilities and staff unable to leave their flood-effected properties and areas. Facilities may be operational later in the week.
Travel
Please avoid unnecessary travel. Hundreds of roads are damaged or closed due to flooding in the regions, and all areas of the state have been impacted by extreme weather. Emergency services are monitoring water levels and access to roadways. For current road closures, visit: vicroads.vic.gov.au.
There are no V/Line services operating on the Shepparton Line.
This information, including the most current information and how to help is available online at greatershepparton.vic.gov.au
