PROJECT UPDATE: Construction of walkways and pens to commence at Saleyards

The project will include;

Buyers walkways
Selling pens and gates
Auctioneers walkways
Holding pens
Earthworks and Base preparation
Loading ramp accesses and forcing yards
Interface with existing yards
Stock water system
Public access

Greater Shepparton City Council’s Director Infrastructure Steve Bowmaker said these works would increase the capacity of the saleyards and allow for a greater number of cattle to be sold through the facility.

“The upgrades to the cattle yards will see the Shepparton saleyards remain a first class facility, drawing sales from as far away as Gippsland, Southern NSW and Western regions of Victoria,” Mr Bowmaker said.

Works will commence in mid-February and will be completed with minimal disruption to normal saleyards operations.
