A DRAFT Wanganui Road and Ford Road Shepparton Feasibility Study Design Report 2018 has been prepared by Greater Shepparton City Council and after undergoing updates later this year, is expected to be released for public comment.
The draft report is an investigative study into the upgrade of Ford and Wanganui Roads to serve as a key east-west arterial route connecting Stage 1 of the Shepparton Bypass with the Shepparton Alternative Route (Grahamvale Road).
A Greater Shepparton City Council spokesperson said, “Based on the feedback received, council is continuing to work with GTA Consultants Pty Ltd and Regional Roads Victoria (RRV) to finalise the updated draft report. At the same time, RRV is completing further planning studies on the wider-Shepparton road network to help inform the ultimate design for Ford and Wanganui Roads.
“A critical component of these planning studies is the completion of an updated traffic model. This information will allow an updated draft report to be finalised later in 2019.
“Once finalised, it is likely it will be recommended that council release the updated draft report for further public comment. As part of this process, further targeted consultation would be undertaken with directly impacted landowners and occupiers of land. Any further consultation would likely take place later in 2019.”
