E-scooter and recreational vehicle enforcement in Greater Shepparton’s high pedestrian traffic areas
Posted on
Monday 22nd of September, 2025,
Greater Shepparton City Council, alongside Victoria Police, is working to improve pedestrian and trader safety in the Shepparton CBD and Mooroopna and Tatura main streets, with a dedicated enforcement taskforce for e-scooters and recreational vehicles.
From today, Monday 22 September 2025, signage and footpath decals will be installed in the Shepparton CBD, and Mooroopna and Tatura main streets, to remind residents and visitors about the legal and safe use of e-scooters and other recreational vehicles.
Under the Local Law (section 2.9), people cannot use or ride a recreational vehicle on any footpath or public place (other than a road) unless in an area designated by Council with signage advising the activity is permitted. Recreational vehicles can be used on roads and shared paths, as long as they comply with state legislation and are operated in a safe manner.
Victoria Police will be leading the enforcement, with targeted taskforces monitoring the high pedestrian traffic areas to ensure the safe and correct usage of e-scooters. The enforcement will focus on pedestrian safety, ensuring e-scooters are not being used on footpaths.
Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, said the enforcement is driven from concerns raised by traders and residents about pedestrian safety in the Shepparton CBD and Mooroopna and Tatura main streets.
“We are prioritising the safety and wellbeing of pedestrians by working closely with Victoria Police to reduce the risk of accidents in these high foot traffic areas. Enforcement ensures pedestrians are protected, while ensuring the welcoming and safe experience of our CBDs is maintained,” he said.
“Victoria Police will manage and maintain fair and consistent enforcement, with Council supporting this through community education and ensuring recreational vehicle users are aware of the rules surrounding their use.”
If you ride a recreational vehicle on any footpath or public place (other than a road), unless in an area designated by Council with signage advising that the activity is permitted, you could be issued with an on-the-spot infringement of two penalty units ($200) and your recreational vehicle could be impounded.
Council is committed to educating riders about the safe and legal use of e-scooters, with signage and public awareness campaigns to be rolled out to inform residents and visitors of the restrictions.
