Great Ocean Road and Inland Routes - landslip works

We’re stabilising roadsides and minimising the risk of landslides at four key locations on the Great Ocean Road and inland routes network, in Victoria’s South West.

Project status:

Underway

Overview

We’re delivering landslip geotechnical works to protect the longevity of the natural roadside landscape and improve safety for all road users at:

Cobden-Port Campbell Road, approximately 8kms south of Cobden, between Dingleys Road and Digneys Bridge Road
Colac-Lavers Hill Road, approximately 4kms north of Ferguson, between Brockmans Road and Murchisons Road
Timboon-Port Campbell Road, approximately 8kms south-east of Timboon, between Wild Dog Road and Cobden-Port Campbell Road
Great Ocean Road, between Kennett River and Grey River

The Victorian Government has invested $255 million to the Great Ocean Road and its inland routes. This includes $115 million to upgrade inland routes between the Great Ocean Road and the Princes Highway, which are vital connections for tourism, freight and local communities.

Update – June 2026

Works are underway at the Cobden-Port Campbell Road and Colac-Lavers Hill Road sites and are expected to be completed in late 2026.

Works on the Great Ocean Road began in late May 2026, and will take approximately four months to complete.

Works on Timboon-Port Campbell Road are expected to start in mid-2026 and take approximately four months to complete.
