In March 2017 Council resolved to undertake a process of exploring design concepts for a redeveloped Maude Street Mall. The aim of the project is to improve the function and visual amenity of the Mall in maintaining its primacy as the heart of the Shepparton CBD.
In May 2018 Spiire developed and prepared four concept design options for the proposed Maude Street Mall precinct redevelopment. Council undertook extensive consultation on four design options presented by Spiire, with Council refining options and adopting the Concept Design Option 4a as the basis for the proposed revitalisation.
Concept design Option 4a consists of a shared streetscape with one way traffic at an estimated cost of $17.15m. It provides flexibility and adaptability to better cater for changing industries and consumer demands and habits.
