Geelong residents will have the chance to learn about the ongoing Armstrong Creek roadworks at two community forums this month.
The City of Greater Geelong will host two forums on Tuesday, June 17 at Biyal-a Armstrong Creek Library , with hour-long sessions at 11am and 7pm.
The forums, which will each offer a Q&A session, are intended to provide locals with insight into the roadworks and necessary road closures, including details on the collaborative planning between the City, Major Road Projects Victoria and the Department of Transport and Planning.
Charlemont Ward councillor Emma Sinclair encouraged residents to attend the sessions.
She said attendees would learn about the work being done to deliver the roads the community wants with the least impact possible.
“We want to update residents on the road closure process, why works are being staged, how we are managing all works in the area and answer questions,” Cr Sinclair said.
Mayor Stretch Kontelj acknowledged the disruption caused by roadworks but emphasised their long-term benefits.
“We understand that roadworks can be frustrating, especially in fast-growing areas like Armstrong Creek,” Mayor Kontelj said.
“These roadworks deliver essential upgrades to ensure our infrastructure keeps pace with the needs of our growing community.”
Roads in the Greater Geelong region are managed by the Department of Transport and Planning and the City of Greater Geelong.
