At its June meeting Greater Shepparton City Council adopted the Shepparton Railway Precinct Master Plan.
The purpose of the project is to conceptualise the transformation of the Shepparton Railway Precinct into an enticing gateway to Greater Shepparton. This includes identifying actions and aspirations that will better integrate the Shepparton Railway Station into the Shepparton Central Business District (CBD), both physically and symbolically.
It also includes a technical investigation and feasibility study into the provision of a pedestrian overpass connecting the Shepparton Railway Station with the CBD.
The Master Plan was informed by a Technical Reference Group, which was formed to provide input from relevant stakeholders. The Technical Reference Group included the Disability Advisory Committee, Positive Ageing Advisory Committee, Ethnic Council of Shepparton & District Inc., local community groups, transport action groups, Committee for Greater Shepparton, Tourism Greater Shepparton and the Goulburn River Valley Tourism.
These workshops provided valuable insight into the positive and negative attributes of the existing Shepparton Railway Station, as well as aims for the future.
The Master Plan is proposed to be implemented across three stages, being short term (0-4 years), medium term (4-8 years) and long term (8+ years) with $25,000 allocated for the next financial year. This budget will assist in the preparation of concept designs and costings for some of the short term actions included in the Master Plan.
The redevelopment of the Shepparton Railway Precinct is a priority in revitalising the Shepparton CBD. The adoption of the Master Plan provides an exciting opportunity to begin transforming the Railway Precinct, which will assist in revitalising the CBD and facilitate improved transport options for residents and visitors to Shepparton.
