Overview
In early 2025, the Australian Government announced additional funding to upgrade a further 2km of Barwon Heads Road.
Stage 2b of the project extends from Lake Road, Armstrong Creek to Lower Duneed Road, Connewarre.
Planning progress
Initial planning work has been completed, including traffic modelling and environmental investigations. Further ecology and cultural heritage assessments are needed for our planning requirements and to help develop the detailed design.
Community and stakeholder feedback
In 2024, we undertook initial stakeholder and community consultation. We will continue with this consultation during 2025-26 to help inform our planning for Stage 2b of the Barwon Heads Road Upgrade.
Next steps
Construction timelines will be known as our planning progresses. We will keep the community updated.
