Draft Greater Shepparton Heritage Study Stage IIC, June 2017

The main purpose of the Draft Study is to investigate places of heritage significance across Greater Shepparton, with a particular focus on rural areas. The Draft Study identifies 182 places across Greater Shepparton to be of heritage significance including five precincts in Dookie and Murchison.

Public consultation will commence on 24 July 2017 and end on 4 September 2017. If you are an affected land holder and would like to make a submission either supporting, objecting or requesting changes to the Draft Study, please send a submission by post to Draft Greater Shepparton Heritage Study Stage IIC Submission, Greater Shepparton City Council, Locked Bag 1000, Shepparton VIC 3632 or e-mail  council@shepparton.vic.gov.au.

All submissions must be received in writing by Council no later than 4 September 2017. Council officers will consider all feedback received and may make changes to the Draft Study.

A final study will be finalised in late 2017 and may inform a planning scheme amendment that will seek to apply appropriate planning controls to conserve these places.
