🏟️ A growing regional city needs sporting facilities that can keep pace.
For more than 50 years, Shepparton Sports Stadium has served our community. But built for a much smaller population, the four-court venue is now at capacity, with clubs, schools and community groups competing for court availability.
This means fewer opportunities to train, compete, develop local talent and grow participation. The stadium’s age and limitations also affect accessibility and restrict Greater Shepparton’s ability to host the major events that modern multi-court venues can attract.
A redeveloped Shepparton Sports & Events Centre would help:
🏀 Create more opportunities for children, young people and community sporting clubs
👩🦰 Expand participation opportunities for women and girls
♿ Improve accessibility and inclusion for people with disability
🏆 Strengthen pathways from grassroots participation to elite competition
🏨 Attract major events and support local accommodation, hospitality, retail and tourism businesses
Council is seeking a $12 million investment from the Victorian Government towards the $37 million redevelopment.
This is more than an investment in a stadium. It is an investment in healthier communities, greater opportunity, local jobs and a lasting sporting legacy for regional Victoria.
We’re asking every candidate for the District of Shepparton: will you support the $12 million investment our growing region needs?
