Speed limit review underway

Published on 24 April 2025

Surf Coast Shire Council is conducting a speed limit review of residential streets in Anglesea, Aireys Inlet, Fairhaven and Moggs Creek, and want to hear from the community who use these roads.

The speed review is being conducted to ensure local streets are safe for all road users, including motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and wildlife. 

“It’s really important our community that use these local roads complete this survey,” said Cr Leon Walker.

“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. And it’s especially important for our kids and wildlife”

“Safe streets help make places that people love,” he said.

The review will be conducted in two parts:

• Survey of the community that uses these roads.
• An independent consultant will conduct a technical assessment of the roads.

Community feedback will be considered alongside the technical report to determine locations for making recommendations for speed limit reductions.

This speed review will not include the Great Ocean Road as this is managed by Department of Transport and Planning.

“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,” said Cr Walker.

“There is also a map of the area in the survey for the community to leave comments on individual roads.”

The survey is open now and closes on Monday 19 May.

This speed review is made possible from a Victorian Government grant through the Regional Speed Package for Barwon South West.
