What is the Shepparton South East PSP?

The Shepparton South East PSP will assist in delivering much needed land for new homes, services and jobs and continue to strengthen Shepparton’s place as Victoria’s fifth largest city and a centre for regional growth.

On 20 September 2023, the Victorian Government released Victoria’s Housing Statement: The decade ahead 2024-2034, in which it announced the Victorian Planning Authority will continue preparing precinct structure plans (PSPs) for new housing and jobs in Melbourne and regional Victoria. These projects will deliver a sustainable supply of greenfield land and more jobs close to home. Shepparton South East is one of the 21 projects named in the Housing Statement.

Providing more land for housing means Victorians will have access to a range of homes that suit different needs, budgets, and lifestyle choices. This includes houses, townhouses and units. Increasing housing supply helps put downward pressure on housing prices and contributes to making housing more affordable.

The VPA’s plan offers an exciting opportunity for Shepparton to grow while delivering connected urban neighbourhoods with high amenity. This will be through integrated transport to provide access to local jobs, destinations, and services for its future residents.

Coordinated and comprehensive planning for key precincts such as Shepparton South East ensures the city can grow but retain its local identity.

Shepparton South East has been set aside for urban development for more than a decade. It was identified in the Hume Regional Growth Plan, Greater Shepparton Housing Strategy (2011), and the Shepparton and Mooroopna 2050: Regional City Growth Plan.
