Construction is underway on a new 36-megalitre drinking water storage tank at Goulburn Valley Water’s (GVW) Shepparton operation’s centre on Florance Street. The $22.4M project will increase storage capacity by more than 40 per cent, providing greater supply security to Shepparton, Mooroopna and surrounding towns.

GVW said the upgrade is designed to support future growth, improve resilience during periods of peak demand, and ensure a reliable supply of drinking water into the future.

The project is being delivered as part of GVW’s Price Plan 2023-28, which sets key investments to maintain reliable services, support regional growth, and respond to the needs of communities across the service region. Construction began in August 2025, and completion is expected by late 2026.

No impacts to water services are expected, but nearby residents and businesses may notice increased activity and large vehicle movements during the project.
