Our city centre sees dangerous heavy traffic in its main street. When the causeway over the Goulburn River becomes grid-locked, as it frequently does, the only other option is a small one-way bridge which cannot handle heavy traffic,” Ms Sheed said. “For a region that has one of the highest instances of freight use in the state the lack of a bypass is doing economic damage to my electorate.” In the last federal government budget a commitment of over $200 million was made to completing the project, an amount that is presumably still available if the Victorian Government would commit to the project, according to Ms Sheed. “The Federal Coalition Government and Labor State Government have demonstrated they are able to put aside their party differences and work together on a number of major Victorian infrastructure projects. I’m calling on Minister Allan to do so again for the people and economic wellbeing of Shepparton, Mooroopna and the greater Goulburn Valley,” she said. “I’m calling on Minister Allen and (Federal Infrastructure Minister) Michael McCormack to work together, to get the business case completed and released so that work can start on this very important piece of transport infrastructure proposed for my region.” ENDS Media contact Myles Peterson 0467 035 840│[email protected] .

Building a Better Shepparton Road Initiative
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.

GV Link – Link to the Future of Transport and Logistics
LINK TO THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS 2 From its earliest beginnings, the concept of a thriving transport and logistics hub in the heart of Victoria has been logical, feasible and highly attractive. As Victoria’s food bowl, a major manufacturing centre and the gateway to and from northern Victoria and beyond, the Goulburn Valley has long enjoyed strategic importance for Victoria’s economy. Today that concept has a sound business case, a complete facility design and the government backing and regulatory approval to make it happen. GV Link is now inviting serious investors to stake a claim in one of the most exciting economic development projects undertaken in this region. GV Link will connect industries within the Goulburn Valley to export markets around the globe.
