Greater Shepparton City Council has released its 2026 Victorian State Election Priorities, calling for investment in major infrastructure, health, transport and community facilities across the region. One of the key projects is the proposed Shepparton Sports and Events Centre, with council seeking a total investment of $37 million.
Under the funding proposal, council is seeking $12 million from the Victorian Government and $15 million from the Federal Government, with Greater Shepparton City Council contributing the remaining $10 million.
The project is being presented as an important investment in the region's sporting and community infrastructure. A modern sports and events facility could provide additional space for competitions, community activities and larger events, while supporting the broader regional economy.
Council has released its priorities with less than 90 days remaining before the Victorian State Election, using the document to identify projects it believes require state and federal support.
The announcement comes as Greater Shepparton continues to advocate for improved infrastructure capable of supporting population growth and the needs of regional communities.
Council's broader priorities also include investment in health and transport infrastructure, alongside community facilities. The organisation says these projects are important for strengthening the region and supporting residents, businesses and visitors.
The sports and events centre proposal has attracted attention because of the scale of the requested investment. If funding is secured, the project could become one of the region's significant community infrastructure developments.
Representatives from Greater Shepparton City Council, Goulburn Valley Health and GOTAFE were involved in presenting the council's priorities, highlighting the need for coordinated investment across health, education, employment and community infrastructure.
The announcement was reported today, 2 September 2026, making it a current Shepparton local-news story.
