Torquay Road, Grovedale
Mr CHEESEMAN (South Barwon) (09:50): It was with some pleasure that we this week announced that we will, as a government, start a detailed consultation process with the community, particularly of Grovedale, on the future of Torquay Road. The southern suburbs of Geelong are growing rapidly. We have seen many, many thousands of people move into the Armstrong Creek and Mount Duneed areas over the last decade. All of these additional people are using Torquay Road, Grovedale, along with the Grovedale community. We have started a detailed community engagement process, which will be open until 30 September, asking those communities how they use the road and how they would like to see future investments prioritised along that road. Torquay Road through Grovedale is an important arterial road, and I very much look forward to engaging with my communities about how they use that road and about how future investment might be prioritised to ensure that that road can safely and adequately carry many additional car movements over the coming decades.
