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.
The tender for the design work and business case was awarded to Group GSA at the August 2019 Ordinary Council Meeting at a cost of $499,950. Group GSA utilised local subcontractors including engineering and surveying, and have a demonstrated track record in delivering similar projects for regional and metropolitan areas.
The tender for construction work was awarded to local company Jarvis Delahey Contractors at the September 2021 Council Meeting. Works commenced in October 2021. The initial works focused on the removal of infrastructure and utility services relocation works so as not to disrupt traders prior to the busy pre-Christmas period.
The Refined Concept Design featuring greater detail, based upon Council-endorsed Concept Option 4 was presented to the community for consultation.
Concept Option 4A was developed after consideration of public consultation feedback, and includes the following key features:

Construction works commenced in late 2021 and are expected to be completed by November 2022.
Major construction works are expected to take around 12 months.
The cost estimate developed as part of the conceptual design work for Option 4A is $17.15M. More accurate costings will be obtained through the detailed design process as the overall scope of works is refined.
Council have secured both Federal and State Government funding to the value of $12.325m. Council will fund the remaining $4.825m.
$8.575m was obtained from the Commonwealth Building Better Regions Fund and $3.75m was obtained from the Victorian Government's Regional Infrastructure Fund – Stimulus Round.
Where possible, established trees have been preserved, however a small number of trees had to be removed to make way for the roadway and features of the new design. We are planting new trees to replace these, as well as some extra trees that feature in the new design.
Yes. Businesses in the mall are trading as usual. All shops remain accessible for the duration of the works. Hoardings have been erected around the works to protect shop fronts and pedestrians, so you may not be able to take your usual route. Please refer to the current pedestrian access map and Maude Street Mall business directory on this page.
