Greater Shepparton City Council’s Director Infrastructure Steve Bowmaker said these works would increase the capacity of the saleyards and allow for a greater number of cattle to be sold through the facility.
“The upgrades to the cattle yards will see the Shepparton saleyards remain a first class facility, drawing sales from as far away as Gippsland, Southern NSW and Western regions of Victoria,” Mr Bowmaker said.
Works will commence in mid-February and will be completed with minimal disruption to normal saleyards operations.
