Surf Coast roads reviewed

A speed limit review will help make roads across the Surf Coast Shire safer for all road users, with the community encouraged to have its say.

The speed review of residential streets in Anglesea, Aireys Inlet, Fairhaven and Moggs Creek will be conducted through a community survey and technical assessments.

Councillor Leon Walker said the survey featured a map of the area for the community to comment on individual roads across the shire.

“We want to understand how the local community use the local roads and if they feel safe on the roads at the current speed limits,” he said.

“Safe streets help make places that people love… and it’s really important that, the community that uses these local roads, complete this survey.

“If our streets feel safe, you’re more likely to go walking or riding and it adds to a sense of belonging and love for the neighbourhood. It’s especially important for our kids and wildlife.”

Cr Walker said the community feedback would be considered alongside a technical report conducted by an independent consultant to determine locations for making speed limit reduction recommendations.

The speed review will not include the Great Ocean Road, as it was managed by the Department of Transport and Planning and was funded through the state government’s Regional Speed Package grant.

Visit surfcoast.vic.gov.au/SpeedReview2025 to access the survey, which is open until May 19.
