Greater Shepparton Freight and Land Use Study 2013

The purpose of the Greater Shepparton Freight and Land Use Study is to identify and assess relevant industry, freight and land use trends in the Greater Shepparton municipal area. It seeks to inform infrastructure network planning decision making and prioritisation.

There are a number of issues in Greater Shepparton which are currently curtailing the potential of the area as an important and growing hub for freight related activity. These issues have been identified by a review of existing strategic documents which has been complemented by extensive stakeholder consultation with government and industry. The Greater Shepparton Freight and Land Use Study provides a framework plan with 22 short, medium and long term actions. The actions are detailed in Section 6.4 of the report.

This study report will be utilised to advocate to State and Federal Governments for funding of the priority actions.

The Greater Shepparton Freight and Land Use Study was adopted by the Council on the 18th March 2014.
