Overview
The Green Triangle spans about six million hectares in south-western Victoria.
There has been a significant increase in heavy vehicle traffic in this area through industries such as forestry, wind farms, mineral sands and dairy production.
Feedback provided by local governments, key industries and community help us prioritise projects delivered across south-western Victoria, to meet future demands of heavier and wider high performance freight vehicles.
We will continue to monitor and maintain our roads to help keep communities connected, freight moving and roads safe.
