ENJOYED the free festive season parking? Well, heads up—Greater Shepparton’s complimentary on-street parking wraps up this Friday, January 31. Starting Monday, February 3, 2025, paid on-street parking returns, and yes, that means parking fines will be issued to anyone who doesn’t pay or who overstays their welcome.

If you’d rather not pay, you can still park for free in off-street, council-owned carparks, but time limits still apply. Planning to spend hours in the CBD? Play it safe: park in an all-day space or move your car before the time’s up.

And remember, weekend parking in council-owned on-street spaces is free, but don’t forget, time limits and fines are still in effect.
