GREATER SHEPPARTON CITY COUNCIL BUILDING A BETTER SHEPPARTON ROAD INITIATIVE BACKGROUND The city of Shepparton is growing and as this growth continues so too does the traffic volumes on the road network. Two major north-south and east-west arterial roads currently intersect within the centre of Shepparton, namely the Goulburn Valley Highway and the Midland Highway. These arterial roads attract significant traffic volumes through the city. As the traffic volumes on eseth roads continue to increase, a number of undesirable impacts are becoming apparent. These include impacts on road safety, amenity, congestion, travel time variability and reducing network resilience. To counter act this Greater Shepparton City Council in collaboration with Regional Roads Victoria, Major Road Projects Victoria and the Department of Transport are working on a number of intersection upgrades and new link roads to cut down on travel time, make roads safer and ease congestion in and around Shepparton. The intersection upgrades will also support significant government investment in infrastructure projects such as schools and hospitals. Roads of Strategic Importance Initiative (ROSI) The Australian Government has provided funding of $3.5 billion through the Roads of Strategic Importance (ROSI) initiative to improve productivity and efficiency on Australia’s key freight roads, providing better connections between agricultural regions and ports, airports and other transport hubs and better access for tourism, mining and other sectors. An additional $1 billion was allocated to this imitative in the 2019/2020 Federal Budget. Victoria has been allocated $160 million under this program from Tocumwal to Seymour. The Council is seeking to secure some of this funding for intersection upgrades on the Goulburn Valley Highway through Shepparton.
