Torquay has seen a lot of growth in recent years, and with the increase in people we are seeing the need to increase road safety and traffic flow for all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and drivers.

The works in the map below are in response to the Torquay north traffic study, crash data analysis and community feedback, and have been funded by a combination of funds from the Australian Government, the TAC and Council.

With so many road projects happening across Torquay, we want to let you know what is planned. Some of these projects are underway and some projects are still in the planning stage with specific details and timing are yet to be confirmed. We will update this page as soon as we know information.

We will communicate with directly impacted residents about these works once details are confirmed (before construction starts).

Any questions or concerns? Call 5261 0600 or lodge a request.
