“This decision by Council will kickstart shopping in the CBD as we come out of lockdown,” said Shepparton Chamber of Commerce and Industry president, John Anderson.
Greater Shepparton City Council are providing shoppers in the Shepparton central business district with complimentary timed parking from November to February.
FROM retail to hospitality, many local businesses have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes a decrease in revenue and foot traffic with businesses having to close their doors, operate using alternative methods and decrease the number of patrons allowed inside. A combination of lockdowns, quarantine requirements, restrictions and limited visitors travelling into the region have impacted our local economy.
To assist with recovery from the pandemic and providing an additional incentive to shop locally and support local business, Council is providing complimentary car parking in Council-owned on street parking spaces for four months.
Complimentary parking begins on 1 November 2021 and ends on 28 February 2022, with paid on-street parking beginning again on 1 March 2022.
Time limits still apply for the parking spaces during this period and infringements will be issued if you overstay the time displayed on the signs for the area.
