Project Summary
Bass Coast Shire Council’s Infrastructure Delivery department will shortly commence works on the next stage of construction of footpath along Toorak Road/ Venus St, Inverloch completing the link between the existing footpaths.
Thank you for your patience during the construction period. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions prior to or during the project.
The Project:
- The new pathway responds to community demand, with walking identified as the most popular activity within the Shire in Council’s Tracks and Trails Strategy 2022, the Active Bass Coast Strategy 2018-28 and the 2021-25 Council Plan engagement.
- This project will improve safety for all path users with greater connection and accessibility, enabling pedestrians to travel safely from western side of Inverloch to the foreshore and town activity centre.
- Construction of new concrete 1.5 metre footpath linking in to existing concrete footpaths on Toorak Road/ Venus St, Inverloch.
- Construction of 2 new pedestrian refuge islands near the Cashin St -Toorak Rd and Ocean View Ct – Venus St intersections.
- Modification of service pits and associated infrastructure to comply with or improve asset longevity (as required).
The project is funded by Bass Coast Shire Council with a value of $95,000.00.
- Some existing concrete driveways may need to be replaced with plain reinforced concrete at no cost to the property owner. The reason for replacement of some driveways is to allow the correct cross fall to match the new levels for the path.
- Access to your property will be restricted for a four-day period following from when the concrete is poured, if your crossover is replaced. This is required to allow the concrete to set properly before any vehicles can use the driveway. Our contractor will advise you, in advance, of any works affecting access to your property.
- Appropriate traffic and pedestrian control measures will be in place throughout the duration of works, including reduced speed limits.
- Local residents and emergency access will always be available during the construction works.
- A notice of works letterbox drop will be issued prior to the commencement of construction.
