SHEPPARTON residents are invited to help shape the future of their community by providing input on the Victorian Planning Authority’s newly drafted Shepparton South East Precinct Structure Plan. This plan aims to accommodate the construction of thousands of homes, potentially creating thousands of jobs in the area.
The proposed plan will provide land for up to 2,500 homes to accommodate a population of more than 6,000 across the estimated 385-hectare area. It has been designed to provide much-needed land for housing, community infrastructure, and job opportunities over the next two decades.
The Shepparton South East Precinct Structure Plan is part of the Victorian Government’s commitment to address the lack of affordable housing in regional Victoria. Residents are encouraged to share their priorities and preferences for the precinct before the consultation period closes on Friday, April 15, 2024.
To gather feedback, the Victorian Government and Greater Shepparton City Council hosted community engagement events, including a pop-up event at Shepparton Marketplace on Thursday, March 7. Residents can also submit their thoughts online via the Engage Victoria website.
Residents are encouraged to provide feedback in the consultation process and help shape future development. For more information, or to make a submission, visit https://vpa.vic.gov.au/project/shepparton-south-east/
