Underway


We’re busy delivering important bushfire recovery works right across the Barwon South West region.

From replacing fire-damaged signs and barriers through to on-road repairs, we’re making sure that the roads can continue to keep drivers and freight on the move across the region.

We’ll provide monthly updates on the repairs happening across the Barwon South West region between now and the completion of these vital works.

March 2026

Several kilometres of roads across the region were impacted by January’s fires, including roads around Streatham, Skipton and the Otways.

These include sections of Skipton-Geelong Road, Lismore-Skipton Road, Colac-Lavers Hill Road, Colac-Forrest Road, Skenes Creek Road and Carlisle Road.

Crews have been hard at work completing inspections of roadside trees and other vegetation management, removing any trees and other plants that have been deemed unsafe and trimming others impacted by fires.

Other works currently underway include replacing signs, barriers and roadside guideposts, while major road and structural repairs will be delivered over the coming months.
