A STRUCTURED plan to guide development in the Shepparton North commercial area along the Goulburn Valley Highway, from Pine Road to just past Wanganui Road, is open for community feedback until October 21, 2022.
With a structured plan for Shepparton North commissioned by Mesh Liveable Urban Communities Pty Ltd in March this year, and in consultation with central stakeholders, the Key Issues and Opportunities Paper was determined.
The Key Issues and Opportunities Paper outlines Council’s aspirations for Shepparton North including key influences informing the development of the area such as growth constraints and the role of key land uses as well as how the expansion can positively contribute to ongoing growth.
It will also determine what form commercial and residential development should take and what the issues and opportunities are for the transport network.
Mayor, Cr Shane Sali said that the structure plan would guide the long-term development of Shepparton North to serve its growing population.
“The structure plan details a connection between all developments along the Goulburn Valley Highway providing for safer traffic and pedestrian movement in the precinct and importantly creating a hub for the north Shepparton community,” Cr Sali said.
The Council will now undertake additional community consultation with relevant stakeholders and a final structure plan will be prepared in early 2023.
