The Victorian Planning Authority proudly acknowledges Victoria’s Aboriginal community and their rich culture and pays respect to their Elders past and present.

We acknowledge Aboriginal people as Australia’s first peoples and as the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land and water on which we rely.

We recognise and value the ongoing contribution of Aboriginal people and communities to Victorian life and how this enriches us.

We embrace the spirit of reconciliation, working towards the equality of outcomes and ensuring an equal voice.

Project Status Updates

Project Status Updates – March 2023

We are in the final stages of consultation with the Greater Shepparton City Council (Council) and State Government agencies on our planning for Shepparton South East, and preparing for public consultation and exhibition of the plan.  

Since our last update in October 2022, we have: 

  • Worked to resolve outstanding issues in remaining submissions from key government agencies. 
  • Updated the PSP amendment documentation in preparation for exhibition. 

Public consultation timing

Following the 2022 Victorian Election, the Government appointed a new cabinet and made a number of changes to Victorian Government departments. The VPA is now in the process of briefing across Government on our work program, including our planning for Shepparton South East. 

This process takes time, and we are working hard to minimise any impacts on the timing of this project. 

According to our previous timeframes, we were expecting to release our plans for public consultation by early 2023. This may now be delayed to mid-year. 

We appreciate your patience while we work to confirm our timeframes and next steps for Shepparton South East. We will provide another update by May, or once we can confirm the timing of our upcoming consultation. 

In the coming months we will be focused on finalising documentation in preparation for exhibition of the draft PSP amendment package.
