provide\u00a0a strong evidence base to guide future investment decisions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Shepparton plays an important role for the region, including in freight, logistics and warehouse distribution activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">This study will help guide planning for economic development,

planning decisions at the local level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The Flexible Local Transport Solutions Program provides funding to local government and
