Colac Otway Shire Council is starting a series of major road upgrades in Apollo Bay as part of a $7 million investment in sealed roads across our coastal townships in 2025–26.
Works will take place on the following streets:
• Pengilley Avenue between Gallipoli Parade and Costin Street, 16 March to 23 April 2026
• Ramsden Avenue between Pengilley Avenue and McLachlan Street, 24 April to 25 June 2026
• Costin Street between Pengilley Avenue and Montrose Avenue, 26 June to 16 September 2026
• Montrose Avenue between McLachlan Street and Costin Street, 17 September to 12 November 2026
The works include full pavement rehabilitation, new and upgraded stormwater drainage, kerb and channel improvements, roadside parking upgrades, footpath and crossover works, landscaping, updated line marking and signage, and road widening to meet current two-lane standards.
These upgrades will improve safety, traffic flow and the long-term condition of the roads. Stormwater drainage improvements are designed to reduce flooding and work alongside other drainage projects underway in Apollo Bay.
Access to parking will be limited at times. Overnight parking may be possible depending on the work underway. Detours and changed traffic conditions will be in place. We will minimise disruption wherever possible.
