The Great Ocean Road Coast Committee (GORCC) coastal reserves team is working to prepare for the busy peak summer season.

Several major projects have recently completed, while intensive maintenance is underway.  From re-gravelling and re-grading carparks to pruning and cleaning, the coast is almost ready for the annual influx of holiday makers and beachgoers.

Recent works at Elephant Walk in Torquay included extensive car park upgrades.

GORCC Coastal Reserves Manager Rod Goring said ongoing maintenance is an important component of GORCC’s work along the coast to ensure the foreshore areas are at a high standard.

“The coastal reserves team has been undertaking maintenance and upgrades in preparation for the busy Christmas and New Year period,” he said.
