A fourth Goulburn Valley Water hydration station has been installed at the Shepparton Sports Precinct ahead of the 2025-26 athletics season. Celebrating 10 years next year, Shepparton Sports City is a regional sports hub with facilities for athletics, football, hockey, netball and a range of other sports.

The new hydration station is located within the atheletics centre, thanks to a partnership between GVW and Greater Shepparton City Council, which started in 2014 and has now extended the number of drinking fountains in the area to 33.

“Our aim is to continue working with councils, sporting communities and community groups to help people make the best choice – to Choose Tap,” said GVW Managing Director, Dr Steve Capewell.
