If you’ve been thinking about moving away from the big smoke in search of a more relaxed regional lifestyle, Shepparton offers everything you could want and more.

Economic snapshot

Only a little over a two-hour drive north of Melbourne situated on the banks of the Goulburn River, Shepparton is ideally located within easy reach of other thriving regional towns and cities including Bendigo, Echuca, Wangaratta and Albury/Wodonga.

With a population of more than 60,000, this bustling regional city contributes almost $3 billion to the Victorian economy annually, which is largely contributed to its important role at the heart of the ‘food bowl of Australia’.

Not only is Shepparton known for its strong agricultural industry, being ideally located at the junction of the Goulburn and Midland Highways and the state rail network, it also plays an important role as a transport hub in national supply chains.

The region has also seen strong employment growth in electricity, gas, water and waste services, accommodation and food services, public administration and safety and administrative and support services, with other key industries including health and social assistance and retail trade.
