Safe and sustainable tourism for Kennett River

There’s now improved traffic flow, parking and visitor facilities at Kennett River after the completion of a $3.8 million tourism upgrades project.

Ready for the summer season, the project will help manage traffic and tourism in this small town while providing a better experience for visitors and the community.

The road design and main precinct have been reshaped for safer movement of motorists and pedestrians. It’s a change that was driven by the community’s feedback.

There are also:

• upgraded public spaces
• landscaping
• improved pathways
• a modern public toilet facility
• wastewater treatment plant
• additional parking.

Delivery of this project is another win for the Great Ocean Road region, which receives around 7 million visits every year.

Many of those people will also visit the Twelve Apostles – where there’s been a major redevelopment of the visitor precinct. Here, the new Keerray Woorroong Visitor Centre has just been built and is now ready to provide a world-class experience at Victoria’s most famous natural destination.

Closer to Kennett River, two other investments are underway to help unlock the region’s economic potential.
