Great Ocean Road Region Strategy Draft Direction 3. Access The implementation of strategies for upgrading the Princes Highway between Geelong and Colac and a western bypass of Geelong are likely to affect traffic circulation and choice of route to the eastern portion of the Great Ocean Road. There is no problem with the capacity of inland routes, since the regional network is comprehensive and generally can accommodate increased traffic volumes. The aim will be to improve these roads, as and where necessary, with devices such as better signage, travel time information and promotion in visitor literature. This should encourage travellers to consider them as viable and interesting alternatives to the Great Ocean Road, especially at times of peak travel demand. The intersection of these hinterland routes with the Great Ocean Road requires specific consideration. The current heavy traffic flow volumes along the Great Ocean Road during peak periods and the likely future increase of traffic resulting from increased visitation will have an impact on user safety and have the potential to reduce resident Hamilto and visitor satisfaction. n Geelong y a w h 8,100 g i 4,300 Pr H in 7,000 c e y Camperdown s wa High 7,800 22,000 Highway 8,800 Surf Coast Hopkins 4,200 1,600 Cobden 5,100 1,000 Torquay Colac Birregurra 5,800 000 10,100 13, 860 Warrnambool 3,000 Scotts Creek 700 Anglesea 3, Aireys Inlet Simpson Forrest 3,000 11, 200 Lorne G ,800 rea 1 t Port Campbell 13,800 2,000 2,300 1,400 Ocea n Lavers Hill 2,300 2,500 2,300 4,600 Road 6,800 Apollo Bay 0 20 40 Figure 14 Easter Monday daily traffic, 2002 kilometres Source: Department of Infrastructure Great Ocean Road Rail Preferred north–south routes 1,000 Seasonal average daily traffic Great Ocean Road Region 43 Policies and initiatives Hamilton Hi y Hamilto gh a n whayw Geelong Route choice, particularlyig on return journeys, plays H Geelong an important factor into congestion along the Great 59% Trips d Ocean Road.

Figure 16 Route choice from Lorne/Port Campbell to Melbourne/Geelong 44 Great Ocean Road Region Direction 3. Access 3.3 Improve road safety and emergency management planning The safety of roads throughout the region must be evaluated, given the increasing volume of traffic and the challenging nature of sections of the Great Ocean Road and some hinterland roads through the Otways. There are few options for changing the alignment of the Great Ocean Road. Combined with congestion on the road, this can impede emergency management services, particularly in serious emergencies, although improvement of north–south access routes (see Initiative 3.2.1) will help this. In terms of safety, accident statistics show that sections of the Princes Highway and of the Great Ocean Road reflect crash rates that exceed the state averages, as do some smaller hinterland routes. Between Anglesea and Apollo Bay, some 50 per cent of all accidents involve motorcycles. Measures will be implemented to reduce these accident rates. Influencing travel demand Travel demand management is a tool to influence people’s decisions about how and when they travel, and how far, and thus to reduce or redistribute travel demand. It is applied through measures that directly involve the transport system, or through urban planning measures that alter the travel environment. Travel demand management strategies can lead to better use of existing transport infrastructure, reduced air emissions, and improved mobility. Great Ocean Road Region 45 Policies and initiatives Seasonal crowding can lead to problems with parking and beach access. Coastal towns have limited provision for cyclists and pedestrians. Bus stops could be improved. Fire is a major seasonal threat to safety in the region. The government is currently revising the Otway Fire Protection Plan for the national parks and state forests within the region. The plan provides for an integrated program for public land fire management, and it is being revised in accordance with Victoria’s Code of Practice for Fire Management on Public Land. The development of the plan has involved community consultation and the close involvement of relevant Shires and the local CFA. It is expected that the revised plan will be completed by September 2003. The Essential Services Commissioner is currently conducting an Inquiry into the 2002/03 bushfire season. It is expected that the Inquiry will address issues including fire prevention on public land and private land subdivisions in fire prone areas. This report is due in September and the results will then be considered by the government. The office of the Essential Services Commissioner is developing a pilot process for councils to consult with local communities about fire refuge areas. Surf Coast Shire will be Initiatives involved in the pilot process. 3.3.1 Seek to upgrade the Great Ocean Road to improve its safety performance by: •reviewing the speed limit and enforcement measures •reducing traffic impacts in small coastal towns •progressively sealing road shoulders •replacing, widening and/or strengthening of bridges where necessary •specific measures at the western end where accident rates are high. 3.3.2 Ensure safety issues are addressed in future upgrades of hinterland routes. 3.3.3 Assess and plan for future freight needs, particularly at the western end of the region (see Policy 4.1). 46 Great Ocean Road Region Direction 3. Access 3.4 Provide more travel choices to and At its eastern end (from Torquay to Anglesea), within the region the Great Ocean Road is an important regional access route for Geelong and Melbourne. The Consideration needs to be given to providing southward spread of Geelong, and growth at innovative forms of public transport. For Torquay, will add to its access role. The example, access to specific sites could be development of Grovedale station will create improved with shuttle bus services. more opportunities for public transport access to More targeted and better promoted rail and bus the region.

  • CW Adventure Word Template
    Our Self-Guided Walking Adventures are ideal for travelers with an independent spirit who enjoy exploring at their own pace. We provide authentic accommodations, luggage transfers, and some meals, along with comprehensive Route Notes, detailed maps, and 24-hour emergency assistance. This gives you the freedom to focus on the things that matter to you—no group, no guide, and no set schedule to stand in the way of enjoying your adventure, your way. The wild coast of Australia’s state of Victoria has long been hidden from view, an unspoiled green ribbon of rolling hills sandwiched between the scenic Great Ocean Road and the tempestuous surf of the Southern Ocean. Today, walkers can finally experience the primitive and pristine beauty of this staggeringly beautiful corner of Great Otway National Park, thanks to the recently completed Great Ocean Walk. Lace up your boots to explore almost 60 miles of untouched wilderness, choosing high trails over towering sea cliffs or beach hikes alongside crashing surf. From the charming village of Apollo Bay to the famed Twelve Apostles sea stacks, this is some of the most remote and remarkable terrain you are ever likely to traverse. Using rustic, homestead-style lodgings in sparsely populated seaside towns as your base, you hike through primeval manna gum forests where koalas linger high in the canopy and past wide grassland grazed by kangaroos. Trace heathland ablaze with vibrant wildflowers and lush wetlands where rivers and waterfalls meet the sea. Marvel at colossal shipwrecked anchors cemented in beach sand and stroll through working farmlands. But perhaps the real beauty of hiking the undulating Great Ocean Walk is this: few people have walked it before you, and it is pure privilege to count yourself among the first to witness its magnificence.

  • The Great Ocean Road: from Where to Where?
    The Great Ocean Road: from where to where? © Rachel Faggetter In the genre of ‘scenic routes’ the Great Ocean Road on Victoria’s southwest coast is one of the best in the world. It has compelling beauty and drama, a high-energy coastline and it winds through a region of rich natural and cultural significance. Serious consideration should be given to proposing the Great Ocean Road for inscription on the World Heritage List as a cultural landscape of international importance. Among the 690 sites on the List, 14 are Australian, none of them in Victoria. Yet this paper suggests a paradox. In the context of contemporary values about conservation and sustainability, the Great Ocean Road would probably not be built. Mention of the Great Ocean Road stirs the imagination of many Australians. Spectacular landscapes and wild seas: shipwrecks, drama and tragedy; bushfires and landslides; summer holidays and winter bushwalking; sand, surf and swimming. Drivers think of the concentrated negotiation of narrow roads and passengers remember looking down at the waves and rocks waiting at the bottom of steep cliffs. Scenic lookouts abound. Scenic is an appropriate word, for this is a constructed landscape, a deliberate arrangement designed to enhance the drama and impact of the coastline as seen through the windscreen of a motor vehicle. The traditional custodians of this country are the Wauthurong, the people who harboured escapee William Buckley for 32 years from 1803. They camped in the creek valleys to harvest the rich seafood but made their tracks and trading routes along ridges and up into the hills.
