Planning is underway to upgrade Coombes Road.

The works will include:

  • Coombes Road being widened (with sealed shoulders for cyclists) and resurfaced from Surf Coast Highway to Ghazeepore Road.
  • A roundabout will be installed at the intersection of messmate Road and Coombes Road.

The package of works is going out to tender. When the contract is awarded and the schedule of works is known, residents will be notified of the expected impacts. We will be working with the contractor to minimise these impacts for residents.

We have received requests from residents for a footpath along Coombes Road. While we haven't secured funding for a footpath as part of these works, the road widening works will be designed to allow for a footpath to be installed in the future from Surf Coast Highway to Brumby Drive, subject to funding becoming available.
